Loved the concept from the start, Ifound I loved it more as the concept progressed through the game.  I was a little underwhelmed by the tile work at first, but once some of the interiors started being introduced, I found the art to be incredibly charming and created a cohesive vibe overall that linked each area together. It feels intentionally reminiscent of the 87-88 period of NES games as an aesthetic, which I find pretty cool. I especially enjoyed the enemy sprite work, I thought they were fun and creative. The jokes were funny and the references were well done. 

I had a really good time with this game.  I love seeing games embracing public-domain IP like this. I could see it being a whole series of games based on famous literary figures where entire novels played out like mini-games.  

Very happy with this entry. Great idea, Great work.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts!

Your comments are about the art style are of particular interest to me, because this is my first real attempt at pixel art, and I'm learning! I wanted an art style that brought the player back to the NES around the time period you mentioned, so I'm glad that's coming through.

Credit to my wife (who is a Jane Austen fan) for the concept and specific references to Jane Austen's works. I agree - I think a whole "8-bit literary figures" series could be fun!
