Interesting combination of mechanics! I really like the NES feel of the artstyle too. A few more sound effects could make the game more enjoyable than it already is! Keep it up :3
Thanks - glad you liked it!
I never managed to get around to sound design for these short jams!
Take a look at sfxr. It's a tool to make chiptune sound effects quickly. Might come in handy in future jams, I've only discovered it recently too!
