This is a lot of fun, and I love the weapon system! Being able to equip projectiles to directions is a really cool idea. I also really liked the manual txt you included, it had a lot of personality and did feel like the kind of thing that might come with a cartridge back in the day. Graphics and sound were nice, and it was cool that you even managed to include cutscenes. I did find that the screen scroll was really slow, so it felt like it took forever to get through each level, which made dying near the end of a level a pain. Overall, great work on this!
