Very cool game!
BUT having "shift" as the button you need to press to get past the title screen is very untuitive and most people will give up.
I recommend putting a quick disclaimer in the "How does your game fit the theme?" description, explaining to press shift.
Anyway about the actual game:
It's really fun, even if it's incredibly difficult (I died about 40 times before giving up haha)! Good choice of audio and SFX. The bosses moves are all really cool, although I think the lightning shoots a little too frequently, it was basically always an insta-kill on me.
Feedback:
- I think a health bar would have gone a long way. I might have been more persistent if I knew how close I was getting to beating it.
- An in-game tutorial also would have been very helpful. I nearly gave up because I didn't know that there was a shoot button.
- The control scheme is very weird. I think this wouldn't be a huge problem (because you can re-bind them, good job!), if there was a quick tutorial image explaining the default keys for jump and shoot. (And that there is a double jump, I died a lot before accidentally discovering that haha).
Overall though, great job! I had fun playing this :)
