This game is really good. It looks very professional, especially from my beginner perspective. The main menu interface is well-structured and the visual and sound effects are amazing. The game design and mechanics are also impressive. However, I found it difficult to play with the keyboard controls, which makes me think it was primarily designed to be played with a controller. I believe it would be a lot more fun to play with a gamepad, but unfortunately, I don't have one. I love the overall visuals and the classic console arcade style of this game.  I almost forgot! The initial cinematic presenting the lore is so engaging and well Excellent work!

What would you like to see us change about the keyboard controls? What do you think makes sense? We've had a few other testers say the same thing and I'd like to see what possible solutions are. That aside, thank you for the kind words and good feedback!

I can speak only for myself, but I think the keyboard controls would feel more intuitive if I could use the up arrow to jump (unless it's bound to another movement control), Ctrl to Shoot, and Alt to Dash. If Up Arrow is already taken, then old good Spacebar would be suitable.

It's actually not taken, so that's very doable! In a post-jam version of this game I'd like to include rebindable controls, but if not, I will change the keyboard controls to allow for jumping with the up arrow and shooting/dashing with ctrl/alt respectively.

Very cool shrimp shooter. Lots of charm and personality, love the opening cinematic. Great job with the pixel-art, feels like it could use a little more enemy variety and a checkpoint system would be welcome, but other than that, this is a very stylish entry, nice work!
