LOVE the big meaty satisfying sound effects. Excellent decision! The explosions are great too. Definite retro heli action game vibes.

Excellent screen shake as well. You're really good at adding visceral game feel.

Really impressed with your detailed credits! You made this solo?! Wow, I'm shocked you had the time to put that all together!

Great entry, well done.

Nice game. The projectiles feels a little bit weird how they fly. But makes fun :3

Developer(+1)

Thank you! Yes the projectiles get a bit confused by the side scrolling movement. Glad you liked :)

Very nostalgic game! I like the arcade-like gameplay. Powerups were a nice touch and the minmap is very helpful! Great job!
