I remember playing this back in the day, possibly on the Intellivision? It's a super early childhood memory that just came back to me.

I'm not familiar with the original, but glancing at a Youtube video of it, I think your remake surpasses it. Very charming!

You're pretty good at these old retro game recreations. If Pico-8 was a real console back then these would be the official ports!

It's so soo good 👌 excellent remake!

I remember the original; this is a faithful reproduction with better quality.
