Super fun concept! I admit I did terribly and spammed that extra life button pretty hard lol. One thing about bullet hell type shooters is that your player character's hitbox tends to be pretty small so you can weave through projectiles, but I wasn't able to do that here. Not that I claim to be any good at bullet hell shooters, mind you... lol.
ANYWAY, the story was hilarious and well written. I especially liked the contract at the grocery store. The art in the cutscenes was great. During gameplay, I liked that I could easily tell the difference between
how I would die this timeenemy types, but a little coloring or animation might have added something. The music fit the gameplay well!Overall, great job!
Really tough, but lots of fun! I replayed it after seeing the comment about adding lives and there is so much more to this game than I thought! I finally found how the theme ties in. All the music was great. Story was hilarious!
Gameplay was fun! The parallax backgrounds with floors and ceilings were awesome. The difficulty was really high. I think some selection of powerups, smaller hitboxes, slower enemy projectiles, faster player movement would help ease up on it.
I recommend putting the "Shift+] to get extra lives" on the game's description so more people can see the full game.

hi Josh, thanks for the post!
that's a good idea, i updated the description to mention the extra lives key
It's a tough one but I'm a big fan myself. The parallax background and the dialogue system are such novel additions that are to die for. I laughed out loud the first time one of those cats asked me a question and I realised my means of interaction, even socially, was still gun! This premise has some really good potential and I enjoyed my experience overall.
this is big boss, i forgot to tell you...
if you're dying too much and just want to see the ending, press Shift+] to get extra lives
I really liked the graphics and audio! It all looks and and plays smooth, although I wasn't expecting a sidescrolling shooter from the intro! Still lots of fun albeit pretty difficult

Great audio and art style! Gameplay is smooth, though not what I expected starting with the narrative. Regardless, a good game made in such a short amount of time.
