Really well done! It reminds me of Metroid crossed with Blaster Master! It looks, sounds, and plays great. I liked the letters on each screen describing the back story too. The lack of invincibility frames however and getting hit multiple times after a mistake can be frustrating at times. And, the difficulty really ramps up in the lower left corner of the map where you get the last button(?) and then have to get all the way back the checkpoint in one life. Maybe I'm just not great at such precision moves. I finally beat the game and really liked it! I decided that the ending was about their friend falling into depression and the player making an effort to come find them? Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but that's what I thought. I'd love to see their further adventures! Cheers! :)
