Just found this through your BlueSky. Um wow this is crazy. Haha great job! 

Insane little concept, executed quite well. I wonder what it says philosophically/artistically that it completely requires familiarity with the original.

Thanks! 

That is a great point.

It's hard to find people not familiar with the original to see what they think but I imagine they find it a lot harder to follow and visualise!

Very good! But i only play it on the pico 8 website because is there

bruh i fell in the pit ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€

Was it a bug?๐Ÿค”

Awesome <3 This is just what I need today

OMG, this is so good! ๐Ÿ˜ฒ

The sound and gameplay is spot-on to the original.
Quite possibly the most extreme "demake" I've ever seen! ๐Ÿ‘
