Pretty sick entry, nice job! I really liked the feel of shooting the character's gun, the animation and sound effect for it added a lot of juice, good work on that. The music was great and added a lot to the suspense. The art was gorgeous and I especially loved the background trees. I did find the gameplay to get a bit boring and repittive after the initial fun of running and gunning wore off. The power ups were super cool but the best strategy seemed to be walk a little stand still shoot, walk a little repeat. It was really fun when I played more recklessly though, it just wasn't a viable strategy. I think if the enemies died a lot quicker it would speed the gameplay up a bit and make it really fun, kind of like a 2d doom. Another critique is that the opening text narrative is extremely hard to read, the text blends in with the background quite a bit. I gave up on reading it after the first couple sections. Overall, I think this is a pretty cool entry that is very easy on the eyes and has a lot of potential as a run and gunner! Great job!
