Fresh and exciting
I have a new found appreciation for Thwomps now. I like how simple the game is, and it's comical how you peek into the hero's cunning as he attempts to thwart the thwomp, which makes this very memorable. It's really clever how you transferred the role of the player from hero to adversary, and gave the spike trap a story. I especially appreciate that the story was told with imagery and not some lengthy boring prologue.
