First off I want to start off by apologizing for being vague in this rating when I refer to the game this inspired by. The dev chose not to mention the name and there's likely a very good reason behind that, so out of respect to the dev, I will refrain from mentioning that game by name.
Meander Land is one of the games I was really excited to play coming into SAGE. There's a certain mustached plumber/mascot that has a great, though often over looked series of platformers on the GB and so when I first saw Meander Land was inspired by or rather was inspired by a game that was inspired by said series, I was ecstatic. And for good reason!
On the one hand, when Meander Land chooses to go with the inspiration from that GB series it's a perfect homage, while on the other Meander Land isn't afraid to break away from its inspiration and do it's own thing, again to great success (The story elements and characters with a personality are a great example of this)!
Visually, this game is all you could ever ask for from a game meant to recreate the Gameboy style. The character design, the look of the levels, even the color the game is displayed in looks fantastic!
As I said above, this was one of the titles I was absolutely stoked for and it was everything I hoped it would be, and way more!
I will definitely be giving it a more thorough play through once SAGE is over and I look forward to seeing your future work!
