★ Enjoyment: 3/5

I don't really like the behavior of enemies' respawn and the rat boss.

★ Design: 4/5

The features are nice.  Descending with the drill and the wall dash were unique experiences for me.

★ Presentation: 4/5

The art style is ok.

Good:

• Wilhelm scream. Made me laugh.
• I like the wackiness of it. Minecarts full of cheese, flying with an umbrella, a bubble transportation network. All very entertaining.
• I really enjoyed some of the level design. The laser beam puzzles were great.

Bad:

• I cannot for the life of me beat the big flying mouse, and it respawns me in the same room, so I can't go look for power ups.
• Speaking of said mouse, more/any telegraphing would help. There's no indication when it's going to shoot, and when it's going to charge and trap me in a corner.
• I'm not sure requiring the player to mash the shoot button is a good idea. It's very hard to do on a gamepad, annoyingly noisy on a keyboard, and excludes quite a lot of people with disabilities. I recommend limiting the fire-rate, reducing the enemy HP, and maybe making the rifle fire a burst of shots if you want to emphasize that it's rapid fire.

Overall, I loved the start, and I wish I could get to the rest of the game. I suck at boss fights in general, and this one was particularly tough for me. I gave you a good rating, because I don't think the fact that I hate that dang mouse should reflect on the game as a whole, which I really enjoyed.

Great jam! a bit surprised when I heard a voice acting from the tutorial well done.

my feedback: 

Sometimes I get hit by an enemy and I don't have any chance to escape and get hit till dead.

I'm not used  "w"  key to jump, for me most use "space" to jump, but this is only my problem (I'm just not used to it. )

Wow, top marks for creativity! The TV tutorials with the voice acting are so good, the powerups are very unique, and the game is pretty crazy overall. I felt the game very alive, and the metroidvania elements are on point as well. Also, Martia is great.

If there's any feedback to give regarding gameplay, is that it's very difficult to evade attacks on that scale, especially on bosses. I also agree with the comments regarding the dash button. Oh, and unfortunately the game crashed for me right after the battle against Massive Martia (I played the WebGL version).

Overall great game, one of my favorites so far, it's filled with personality. Excellent job!

Great entry. Controls / movement could be a bit better (it only bothered me during boss fights) but the art, the voice acting and overall vibe of the game really stand out.

Very good work.

There's a lot to like in this zany space adventure. The power ups are fun, the bosses are ridiculous, the levels feel like a metroidvania, and there's voice acting!

As I started to put together my thoughts to write up a comment, I found that I enjoyed this more than I realized. There's actually quite a few things that were messy or cumbersome as I played through, but by the end I'd sort of forgotten about them in the glow of a good time. So kudos for that!

For the sake of future improvement, though, here are some things that didn't really work for me:

- The damage  push back seemed to get me stuck in a few hit loops—i.e., I'd get hit by something, bounce, but the invincibility would seem to time out before I had a chance to get myself out of danger, so I'd get hit again, repeat until dead or significant chunk of life is gone. Maybe less push back or more invincibility frames would help? Also landing on bubbles seems to extend the hit stun. Super frustrating in a few places (I'm looking at you, Massive Martia!), just sorta of mildly irritating in others.

- The moving mine carts of cheese gave no indication why they'd be dangerous. That one was just surprised more than anything.

- As other have said, the dash probably works better as its own button. I think why it doesn't work great in platformers is that we often find ourselves making minute adjustment to position to make a jump or set up a timed sprint, but doing a little *tap*tap* suddenly makes you dash across the room in this game. Works in fighting games fine, but maybe not so much here. Also the dash sometimes just goes insane and I end up flying all over the room, haha!

- I agree with dan.collins.dev that the one-way/drillable platforms were difficult to see in areas.

Again, though, I had a blast by the end despite some flaws here and there. Great job—thanks for the good times! ^_^

I’m not sure if this was intentional, but I dig the early 90’s arcade vibe! And the idea is certainly original! The use of the TV network to spoon feed info to the player is cool too!

I also really like the support of a game pad! But maybe next time crib off an established or beloved game like Hollow Knight for the button layout. Initiation dash by double pressing in a direction lead me to be killed when I did it by accident. It’s fine to have a tough game, but players want it to feel fair as well.

We chose a top down space shooter for our game. With metroidvania elements of course. We’d love it if you tried it out, gave us a rating, but most of all dropped a comment on the submission page to let us know what you liked and didn’t like!

This one was just so bizarre. The rats look so out of place and the rat boss made burst out laughing. 

It's a giant rat that rides on top of two drones. How do you come up with that stuff.

Also the abilities are absolutely goofy. You can fly with an umbrella marry poppins style, ride tiny bubbles and control robots with an xbox controller you found on the floor. 

Unfortunately I couldn't finish it since it crashed right before the end. 

Also I would critique that the movement feels very stiff ( maybe due to the a bit overly ambitious animations ). And the dash ability is a pain to control. I was dashing all over the place even if I didn't want to.

Congrats on fully voice acting it btw. 

Hey! Nice game! I liked it, but the character felt a bit sluggish, if that makes sense?

Oh man, I thought your username was familiar, but I didn't know why. Loaded up your game, and instantly knew why it was familiar. You made Dr Kimmy last mvm. You have such a unique visual aesthetic that I really like.

I think this entry definitely shows improvement since then. There's much more content in this game, than your last. The character movement has improved.

One thing that did stick out in this game, is that the blocks you could jump on didn't stick out. There were a much lighter color to where I couldn't tell that a block was there unless I was colliding with it. Definitely in the beginning zone and the first vertical shaft of rolling blades. I think if they were more noticeable, it would definitely help.

Awesome job, overall!

Good game, lot of differents enemies, nice game. Very good music.

I am impressed at the detail that went into this game! How much time did it take to make the sprites?? Soundtrack has a great retro-future vibe to it too. Very cool.
