The graphics were great and the game had juice, but the gameplay was little more than holding 'd' and 'q'. I liked the cards and the little bit of history at the end. I didn't find any bugs, and the game felt pretty polished, so overall, very good snack sized game.

This was nice! The idea of an horizontal only shooter is interesting, i only feel that the shooting could be a little bit more engaging, maybe by being able to take cover, os ducking to dodge the bullets. And the collectable cards where a nice addition to give some context to each battle, also maybe each battle could have different gameplay, like different weapons and enemies.
But overall this was nice!
I think it is a solid submission, there are just a few things i would have likr to see. 1.jumping, 2.soundsettings and 3.the historical accuracy built in better into the game, i think it is funny tho :)

There wasn't much gameplay, but I liked what was there! I liked the historical accuracy and I liked the explanation at the end. It was a very interesting game.

Like others have said, there wasn't much to the gameplay other than holding right and spamming shoot, but I'd like to say I quite liked the pixel art and sound effects. I think with just a few gameplay additions (maybe the ability to jump or dodge bullets, and maybe an ammo limit) this game could be quite fun.
The camera shake when shooting was quite intense, I think that added alot to the feel and experience of the game. I also think your pixel art was pretty well done!
the game lacks control and gameplay it's like scrolling down an article but by pressing q+d instead of the Down arrow, i wish my feedback helps you in your next games
wish you all the best
I feel like the game lacks gameplay, you can basically win by holding D and Q, and the screen shake was a bit much!
The graphics were nice though, good job :)
