loved the pixel graphics, and i liked how the music kicked in when things got dire :)) really fun!
Thank you very much, I'm so glad you enjoyed our game :)
awesome graphics & music, i found the platforming a little bit hard
Yeah, the difficulty was a bit unbalanced. I'm glad you enjoyed the graphics and music :)
Thank you very much for the feedback :)
nice one, although i like i a little faster, shooting down/up would be nice (same for enemy)
Yeah, shooting multiple directions would be much cooler indeed!
Thank you for the feedback and I'm glad you enjoyed the game :)
never expected death metal from a death game jam
Hehe, no! It's not a normal thing to do but I hope you enjoyed it :)
Love the metal gear + contra aesthetic dude. Music pumps me up. Small criticism is the speed of the projectiles, it's kinda hard to dodge. Very good visuals though :)
The speed was a bit unbalanced!
I'm so happy you feel all pumped up about our game and music :) Also I love the metal gear+contra merge :)
Thank you very much for your feedback!
90:s and snes was something special and Contra was definitely an inspiration. Your citisism is heard good sir and i appreciate you taking your time to comment!
First of all, the music is GREAT!
Then, the game is well balanced and has good mechanics. It brings you to go fast, avoid projectiles, and keep killing enemies to get the power up. However, I think a defensive skill could be appropriate.
Nice job, loved it!
You're correct, we had an idea for a defensive skills but not the time to implement it.
But I'm thrilled you loved our game, thank you very much for all you feedback and your kind words :)
Yeah, absolutely true. Enemies should not have gotten the power up
I'm thrilled you that you love our choice of music and game. Love your feedback! Thank you very much :)
Sweet game dude, I love the music, it really makes the game feel engaging. Nice work dude, congrats.
Thank you very much, we are so glad you enjoyed our game :)
Love the aesthetics! Definitely my kind of game! But very difficult! The enemies shoot at you from off screen, but you can't shoot them back, that was brutal, but love the game and everything about it. Bangin' music!
Enemies shooting off outside the screen was a bad move, thank you for letting us know. I'm so glad you enjoyed our game and I'm absolutely thrilled you loved our choice of game style and music :)
Cool game
Thank you very much :)
cool
Thank you very much :)
Nice game :D
Thank you very much :)
Really challenging and fun as all platformers should be. Amazing submission!!
Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it!
cool retro look. thumbs up!
Thank you m8!
Really enjoyed the atmosphere here. Played great on a controller, except Im definitely not used to jump on triangle. Haha. Keep up the great work!
Thank you! I forgot to playtest with a controller haha! Will remember next time!
It looks and plays nice. The cramped screen kinda makes me feel like I'm playing it on Game Boy
You are right! Thank you for the feedback!
Fun game! Great art and music, I was a bit confused on when I died, a health bar would have been great. Other than that good job!
I agree and thank you for the feedback. Next time we'll use something like a healthbar!
Really good visuals. Great job!
