Very VERY cool game! It really caught my eye! Makes the player feel very powerful too!
The elephant in the room; the amazing art! I really loved the aesthetic of the low-res pixel art you went with combined with all the FX and juice- but i do have quite a bit of feedback regarding the presentation. There is a LOT of screenshake and since a lot was happening it just felt like a high magnitude earthquake was taking place. Another point i have is (this is a nitpick tbh but it still bothered me) being obvious mixels, however when the screen was more zoomed out it didn't really bother me anymore. I love the character you made and how he moves around! Very simple but oh so effective.
On the gameplay side i was confused at first why this was a single-stick shooter, but eventually i just embraced this and spammed the shooting key. Not sure if this was intentional but it felt like it was the only way to play after losing the first time (i died when i did the charge for entering the next screen).
This is an absolute fantastic game! I am very impressed about this game being made in 3 days!!
