This was one of my favorites so far. On the surface the gameplay is quite simple but as you play you notice more and more little details that accumulate and create a cool little gameplay experience. It looks great too! Here's my playthrough if you're interested.

I'm so glad you liked it! That means a lot because I've actually seen some of your Pygame stuff here and there before, and it always looks so freaking amazing. I'll check out the video when I have some time; always makes me feel so weird to see someone actually play something I made, but like, a good kind of weird? Anyway, thanks so much for taking the time to play!

Aw thanks, I'm glad you like my work :) No pressure to watch it if you don't want to! I record these videos mainly because I personally find it insightful to watch people play my games, and I want to pass that experience on to other pygamers if I can. If that sounds useful to you, it's available, and otherwise no worries! I'm not trying to be the ultimate critic of other pygame projects or anything like that, ha. Anyways I enjoyed playing it, well done!

This is an awesome immersive retro experience. The gameplay is a little not smooth. Still cool though. I'm not sure if it has more levels or anything like Bubble Bobble because I didn't get anywhere maybe I didn't get far enough, but I found myself looking for more

Cool is cool! Thanks for playing! I get what you mean about the gameplay; I probably could have smoothed out some of the mechanics and controls a bit. No more levels right now, but maybe at some point...

Pretty cool game, nice music!

Thanks! I'll be sure to pass the music comment on; that's the one thing I didn't do.

Awesome game! Love the pixel art and your creative interpretation of the theme :))

I'm glad you like the art! I tend to go really simple with that kind of stuff because I'm not particularly great at it, so it always makes me glad when someone enjoys it.
