A solid attempt at creating a side scrolling beat-em-up with some decent visuals and nice indication as to the goal of the game. Getting to the end of levels was challenging and a fairly engaging experience that required a couple of plays to complete.
A couple of points stand out, however, with the first being the character and enemy sprites which seem striking similar to Megaman NES which have a lot of sprite sheets available online. Using such assets as inspiration are fine, but definitely be careful when replicated copyrighted work as a lot of your sprite animations are quite similar. Secondly, I don't think there was much consideration with the difficulty of the game as there are parts of the first level that are incredibly difficult without extremely precise moments and timings. I don't feel like the turrets were a good choice and that having more complex fighting (blocking, etc.) and a variety of enemies would have been a stronger alternative, feel free to disagree with me on this. Finally, controls feel a bit repetitive since spamming 'K' over and over till the enemy dies whilst having to avoid the turret occasionally is more frustrating than engaging.
All in all, this was a good submission that has some room for improvement. Definitely has the core aspects of a good game, but is lacking in various parts which could have been addressed with significant playtesting. Good work nonetheless.
