Great game it's unbelievable how much work was put into it, it's really impressive for the done period of time! I'm really not a fan of the retro- retro game (more of a game from 90-ish), but even I got sucked into it! The quality is all over the top in all the details, even the annoying one's (air control and tough as nails bosses).
Super cool, love it!
Hey there, I am trying to get other to re-submit their reviews for my game if possible...it was deleted and removed from the Jam on accident based on a technicality which was solved between the Jam Host and a particular asset used in the game...please if you have time, energy, and/or generosity to re-saved your ratings/reviews for the game. I am going through and re-saving yours given my browser kept your rating saved data on my end...but it looks like I lost all 73 reviews and ratings from my end.... :( best of luck to you in the Jam

I really like this! How many bosses are there? I gave up on the lava wyrm, because the platforms are really punishing! Every platform in this game looks like they can be pass-through objects. So I guess we don't have to emulate every retro thing, especially the controls. Player could use some air control for precise landings and or attacks. So that way, when player makes a mistake, they blame themselves. Also a pause menu could be helpful, I died sometimes when something distracts me from the game. But other than that, I think this game is really special; bosses and stages work in tandem to make the fight more interesting and I love the nostalgic feel + easy to understand gameplay. This feels like a hidden gem that I'm glad I got to experience. Great work!
just an incredible game, all the bosses were amazing and it feels very satisfying to beat, no idea how you were able to make this in only a month, definitely one of my favorite ones in this jam.
Very cool aesthetic, nailed the retro vibes. Damn that was hard.
