Super fun little platformer collector game! and really loved the way you designed the shooting mechanics. Great job overall! 

Some things that might be a bit QOL, An option to mute and unmute music while playing and keeping the same sound effects in game. This way for long playthroughs i can just chill out and listen to tunes or whatever.

Super solid and really fun!

Developer

Thanks! I decided not to include a  mute/unmute since the music is a core part of the game. But yeah, I should have had implemented it.
