Very nice art and music! Enjoyed the game very much! Especially like the main character and animation of it. Simple and effective.
Some feedback:
- Art inconsistency is very noticeble in this entry... I wish background was stylish as player and enemy sprites. Reminds me ToeJam and Earl in some ways.
- More about art inconsistency. DIfferent pixel art styles and pixel sizes work not great togeter. Also, some background sprites were on top of enemy sprites.
- Ammo counter was confusing. It was going up and not down as usual in games
- Enemies can hurt you while dying which was unexpected
- Player "hurt" effect wasn't clear enough for me. Maybe a little sound effect or more visual elements to show "hey, you was hurt by something"
- Didn't understand the difference between blue and red hearts
- The "tutorial dude" required you to be at some specific point which I still don't understand was a little bit strange for me. Maybe just allowing show tutorial text when close enough could work better. Also, it might be not need to have this guy for the whole game as if player started to play for some time it's unluckly player needs to check him again.
Overall very cool, stylish and dynamic top down shooter. Liked it a lot, thanks!
