The gameplay reminds me a little bit of Smash Bros, but with more arena survival elements. The procedural generation helps keep things interesting, but I occasionally get stuck in a tile generated over me, lol. It’s not an issue since the environment is destructible, which adds to the fun.

Very good polish one this one! Stunning gameplay depth and amazing arts, underrated gem as others said! Couldn't play very good because my left arrow key is missing but thats a me problem. Blocks that drain your power proved to be the hardest enemy for me :)
Was very surprised by the ingenuity of this game! On the surface it looked like a standard platform shooter, but the way you incorporated the theme led to a very interesting experience. The way your health and ammo are the same resource made me think more strategically, and the fact that it was constantly decreasing led to a lot of frantic moments that were really entertaining. Not to mention things like the block that sapped your energy. This is an underrated gem for sure.
Really awesome sprite work, fun contrast in the color of the sunset sky and the dark environment with easy-to-see green spots/characters of importance. Nice mechanics, fun little arcade style game! I guess my only gripe is that you tend to go through each power a little too quickly to enjoy them and since some require directional input, I didn't think some of them worked my first couple go-arounds until I actually did look in the corner (I read the instructions, that's kinda on me)
Both in their size/shape and some sounds, got some big Kirby vibes, nothing wrong with that at all.
Awesome game! Love the sprite works and the use of dark colors in contrast of the yellow and orange. I liked how the stage just procedurally kept generating as I played, really enjoyed the movement (Double jump hell yeah!) Had no issues running the game and I had a fun time. Good job! :)
Sadly I cannot play with the controls on a german keyboard as it is straight up unplayable :(
Love how the level procedurally generates around you! Had to get used to the controls, but overall a fun little game!
