pushed up a small update to this game so that it saves your progress. also added a couple puzzles that should help clarify some rules better. give it a shot if you haven't played yet!

i need to get back to making games but i’ve had a fun diversion playing through marios 1-3 on original NES hardware with no warps or continues. they’re good games! mario 3 is very impressive for a game of that era

one of my least favorite game criticism tropes is appealing to genre. “A good roguelike boss does X”. “This silksong boss works against good soulslike design” etc etc
