This was awesome!!!! The moment I saw the first "Jeff the hopeful was an aspiring mechanical engineer..." type of quote I cracked into a smile. I kept my eyes glued there as I continued to kill more enemies and...well, this isn't making me sound too good, is it?! But the point is, I love what you did with the theme, it was a lot of fun, and the ending made me feel consequences for having had so much fun. Kudos! Oh, and I like the gameplay design you went for - the character's hurtbox is too big to really dodge everything, so it became a test of choosing where you get hit and tiding over until the next health drop. This made both the bullet up and health powerups feel really significant. The art was fantastic too! Overall great entry, good work!
