Holy Manure
I didn't expect much, though seeing it as the top submission of the day in my email surely must have meant it was something. So I checked it out. I have to say, the NES style is captured perfectly, in just about every sense.
And then that twist. I thought it was going to be some silly little adventure. But WOAH. That came out of NOWHERE.
And I loved it. Excellent job by everpony working on the game! More! More!
