Really cute and fun game. I liked the pixel art, and the battles were fun. Though it didn't feel vary cozy to me, I think it was still a solid submission. Great job.

Thanks! I definitely could have made it more cozy😅

Submitted(+1)

the pixel art was so cool and the fighting reminds me a lil bit of cuphead and that is so cool

Developer

Cuphead was definitely an inspiration! Thanks!

Fun game! I loved the sound effects and the enemy movements, I felt like I was able to learn their moves which really helped pull me in. Good job!

Developer

Thanks! I'm glad the fights weren't too hard😅

Love these types of games, took me quite a while before I realised you could shoot upwards haha. Great job on the sound design and cute art! -Mato

Developer(+1)

Thanks man! Don't worry. you're not the first to not realize that😅

Submitted(+1)

This game is really fun! The premise is very unique and the battles were challenging, yet fun. The art and music were really nice, too

Developer(+1)

Appreciate it!

Enjoyable game, it took me way to long to realise you could shoot upwards haha

The controls were nice and tight, and the bosses were actually fairly well balanced, I was coming very close to death with each of the three when I beat them, so great work there. Would have liked if I could fall through the platforms - there were a few moments where I couldn't move left/right/up to avoid something while on a platform, and I tried dropping through.

Cute animations, nice boss phases and tight controls make this an enjoyable submission!

Developer

Thanks a bunch! I was this close to adding the ability to fall through the platforms!😅 I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

I did laugh out loud once (animation when beating the first boss, I won't spoil it for others).  

As feedback:  on the game page, the color for the font is hard to read on the background.  In game, the pixel font M character kind of looks like a H so some of the story names and titles may not be read as clearly for the names you've designed.  I has to ESC out to review the controls...I was looking for a power jump key since at first I didn't realize holding space made you jump higher.   The controls/movement were not very fluid considering the kind of screen navigation required (especially holding the jump).  

I liked the progression on the boss battle.  The artwork was really good, sound effects matched the game well.  One thing I definitely learned from you is the game title...really makes you want to try it out.

Developer

Thanks man! Yeah, the font isn't the best. I do think that having a non variable jump, or at least a less variable one, would have been a better choice. Thanks for playing my game! I love hearing feedback :D

Sound was *chef's kiss*. the controls were slightly wonky, and I had to bend mu hand weird. Next time, use something more conventional, like arrow keys & zx.

Developer

Thanks! There is actually support for arrow keys and zx!

Submitted(+1)

We enjoyed the sound design!

Developer

Thanks! Sound effects are one of my favorite things to make

Super cute boss battle game. Tight controls and gameplay, crisp pixelart, overall quite enjoyable.

Developer

Thanks! Means a lot😁

This game is made for the NES ! Cute snail.

Developer

I can’t tell if that’s a compliment or an insult. But thank you anyways!

cute game, way too hard, vary nice graphics, fun concept, has depth to it.

the charge shot option doesn't appear to work

I just think it needs a little testing.

Developer

Yeah, difficulty is something that's hard to gauge in a game like this. The charge shot should work, what button are you using for it?

Submitted

probably was harder for me without the chargeshot.

I used the z/f keys

Submitted

x/f**

Developer

Strange... I'll check it out to see. The charge shot does make it a bit easier. But that's coming from the guy who has been playing the game for 2 weeks probably 3 hours a day or more. So it's just hard😅

Developer (1 edit)

Charge shot is working, you can't use it until the last boss if that's why it wasn't working for you
