It looks cool to me. The visuals are really nice, and I'm always in for new Genesis stuff, so I'll definitely check it out.
The most interesting thing I noticed though is the asset reuse. If you check out the second gif on that front page, you'll see a 3d wall that changes perspective as the character approaches and passes, and following that, a rotating tower with wood platforms. Both of the these elements are directly from Mickey Mania.
Granted, the wall has a new texture, and they mirrored the effect so the angle changes after the character passes (which didn't happen in Mickey Mania, it'll only moved as Mickey walked up to it) but the tower hasn't been changed at all.
I wonder if this is place holder stuff, as while there probably isn't any legal problem at this point, I'm sure other fans will notice and possibly take issue. People will call it theft. Then again, maybe no one will care.
Sorry if I'm being a buzzkill stickem. It really jumped out at me though.
Edit: I double checked the tower, they changed the brick pattern (new texture, like the wall), so it is not identical as I first thought.
