Fun game that only took about 6 hours to beat, and that was with me backtracking a few times a la metroidvania to buy some extra stuff. I paid less than 5 bucks for this and to me it was well worth it, though some people might find a dollar an hour to be less than valuable (though I come from a time when we used to spend a quarter to play SF2 for just a couple minutes, so this works for me). I do wish that there was more use for the "money" as your purse is often full with no use. There are plenty of characters to choose from, and lots of palettes to fit everyone's style. But the best aspect of this game is the MUSIC -- it is phenomenal! I found myself playing the game more than I normally would just to listen to the music. I hope a part 2 is in the pipeline, whether in this same style or more modern, as the story is great and there is plenty to expand upon. Well done devs!
