Nice game inspired by the classic title Berzerk (Thief, Zerberk etc) but with a more modern touch!
I love the late 80s retro inspired graphics and the digitized voice, gives the game its own personality.
The Otto impersonator is crazy difficult to avoid, I suggest you run!!
I would like to see the game completed with more depth.
Keep up the good work!
Suggestions for improvement:
Tighten or reduce the collision/hit-boxes (you may often die before enemies/projectiles hit you)
Slower enemy shots? (maybe not needed if above is adjusted)
Add more depth (activate that shop/house everyone tends to try to enter, or give a message "shop closed, out for lunch!" or upgrades as faster move speed for 3 next screens, or faster shooting for 3 next screens or death, or purchase a change direction of Otto entrance left/right or slower moving Otto in drunk mode)

Thanks for the kind words and those suggestions ... they're actually some things I've already been thinking about. Worked on the code last night adding an Options menu screen where you can select which joyport to use. I've also tightened up the hit detection for the shuriken and monsters, need to look at the fence code next. Hope to have the new release out soon.
