Having trouble playing this through Wine on my Mac. It won't load at all, not even the title screen. Any ideas? Normally I can run Windows programs no problem. Would love to play this :(

Incredible game. I missed the Kickstarter, sadly, but will be purchasing it day 1. It will be a painful 2 year wait for sure (haha). While this may not be for everyone due to it's puzzle-style gameplay, I absolutely love sokoban (block pushing) mechanics. The puzzles are beautifully designed, and the game isn't just pure sokoban like Chip's Challenge or Eggerland (Lolo). It actually adds a lot of interesting elements to the genre, like solving puzzles in any order you wish in an interconnected world, and getting stumped on puzzles at first, only to realize that you need to interact with something in another puzzle to further open up the game world. It's genius. The music is beautiful and unique, and really sets the tone for the adventure. Our main character has a great design, and the world he inhabits is mystical and memorable, with wonderful 'Link's Awakening' -style pixel art and secrets galore.  My only complaint would be that the music restarts every time you restart a puzzle. I wish it would keep going, as otherwise it break the mood, and thus the player's immersion. Just a small nitpick.

The fact that one person is making this (well, besides the music, and they also have a QA tester from what I understand) makes it all the more impressive. It took me about 3 hours to 100% the demo, and I enjoyed every minute of it. Like a rabid animal, I eagerly anticipate my next taste of this game ;)

TL;DR - This is the best sokoban-style game I have ever played. Please download it. Now.

Very fun game, I've been enjoying it a lot! I've always been been disappointed by the music in the 'falling block' port on the NES, and this homebrew really remedies that, with an awesome soundtrack that is awfully catchy. The Kraken mechanic is really fun and adds an extra challenge to an already perfect title (especially on 'fixed' mode). I also love that you can fast drop blocks, quite the modern convenience. And perhaps best of all you can play it on your real NES if you have a flashcart. Highly recommended, I really don't have anything negative to say. Great work!
