Yoooo this game is so good! Def got cuphead vibes and the art & music is really charming :D
The patterns were fun and I almost forgot I could jump until the first fist pound - was there a reasoning for not letting the player shoot facing left? Also I found myself hoping for just a few extra seconds of invulnerability after taking a hit since you can get hit twice almost back to back and I was wondering how I died from just one bullet.
Love that the game puts you right back into the action and how the controls are very straightforward/implemented well so any mistakes feel 100% the player's fault. Great work!
