Super nostalgic with the colour palette and simple but solid gameplay. Mechanics work really well and the audio is excellent. Great job!

Very authentic game boy look and feel!

The voice saying "priest" at the start really gives the game character!

Solid game, I like it! Good job!

Nice arcade shooter! Thought the switch between weapons was really clever. Great entry!

Nice and crunchy little arcade shooter. This is the second game that I've played that reminded me of playing the Game and Watch collections on Gameboy, specifically in how movement is to fixed locations. The voice sample on the title screen gave me old school Resi vibes too. Very cool.

Fun short experience! The difficulty jumped up a little fast later in, but it was a fun challenge overall! I liked how you implemented two different weapons.
