its still nowhere near as hard as GnG but you can tell it wants to be with the fire traps and boulders and spikes, there's just simply not enough room on the gameboy for all the enemy sprites it wants to murder you with

because Firebrand is the "this fucking guy" of Ghosts n Goblins i naively assumed this game wouldn't be sadistic, little did i know Firebrand has his own "this fucking guy" introduced on a stage with wind constantly pushing you backwards πŸ‘

i am for full disclosure playing the japanese version with this much better translation, arguably not essential but its nice for a game about demons and hell to actually mention demons and hell www.romhacking.net/translations...

this game rocks, making a slow and methodical platformer about flight and climbing is such a good fit for the gameboys chunky sprites. also so good that the cursed words to revive yourself are the games passwords

we do live in semiotically interesting times if one can suggest β€œi hope it happens today” and the reader not only knows exactly who you’re talking about but will then go on to imagine how it’ll go. seems potent for something or other

Graphics don't need to be "better" than ps2. We can have ps3 graphics on some games, as a novelty, but it should be very rare.
