Ahhhh, I knew I would enjoy this! I just didn't know how much... The music has such a wonderful vibe to it, and the back and forth between Liam and Niles just flows so well, both the writing and the performances! Also, the background design... going to give a finger kiss that'll make the chef on the pizza box proud. I am so happy the extras include concept art because I am going to study these to bits...
And for the story/gameplay itself, because ooooh that is the meat!
Knowing where these guys originated from makes the copyright talk so fascinating. It's the human condition to take things we like, take them like sportsballs, and smack them around to see what happens. It's wonder to see these two in action again, and I believe in Liam and his future mecha-mouse works. And the loops were done so well? Enough variation to keep interest, but still in a framework that has a wonderful ominous atmosphere. The little bonks that happen when you click on something that's not clickable was a highlight for me, strangely enough. Also I almost thought that there was going to be some Stalling-strats going on with the Mickey-Mousing, but in hindsight that might have been too much for a month jam's work perhaps?
In summary, amazing work! I want to make some pizza now too...
Nicely done retro-shooter, with easy to pick up controls. There was a bit of lag in picking up items, but I'm willing to chalk that to playing on desktop making controls feel a tad more floaty than they might on mobile. The music is funky, by the way! Good luck with the rest of the game!
