IRIE!
I liked it! Nice graphics, lots of animations. Music was very cool, although it got old pretty fast and I also thought it didn't really fit the gameplay that much. Level design could be improved IMO, considering the lack of checkpoints and utilization of the shooting mechanic, that I thought was pretty fun but wasn't really integrated that much into gameplay. Maybe the first segment could be longer with more things to shoot, dividing the level into an action packed segment and a low paced one with the connection mechanic.
As people already pointed out, the connection cutscene is cool but kinda obnoxious, maybe if it went faster...
Great job!
