The soundtrack in this game is amazing. I love the synthwave in this music that the game brings. Reminds of the time when Tangerine Dreams had that kind of music. You will feel encouraged to replay levels once you get certain upgrades to make getting a better grade easier.

I like the game so far. The soundtrack has been a big highlight. Local PvP mode is stupid fun, The dumb situations I've encountered are hilarious.

Enjoyed the demo, don't like this at all. Ehh... Nothing wrong with it. Seems alright. But I can't recall the last time I've experienced such frustration when trying to complete a 2D platformer. First rage quit in quite some time. I wouldn't consider the game objectively bad, I just ended up not liking the gameplay loop. Anyway, great music.

Retro graphics, retro sounds, retro music, retro difficulty. Modern feel. Forehead Chip is filled with loads of challenging combat puzzles and a tongue-in-cheek attitude. Play it! It's fun!

PvP is crap, the maps are ridiculously small (in 4 players split screen), you can only aim on 2 axis... Don't buy it for PvP. Edit after dev review : I know the thumb down may be harsh, but it's either up or down, and obviously I am quite disatisfied with what I bought the game for : local PvP exclusively. Btw I said splitscreen but it's obviously shared screen. Towerfall is a very good example of a successful PvP minigame ; compared to Forehad Chip it has : 1/ great mobility (you can dash and glide on walls), 2/ more room in each map, to hide and flee, 3/ 4-axis aiming (not the awful 2) and a bit of auto-aim for the arrows It shouldn't be too hard to improve that in your game (I suppose, I don't code), and it would really change everything. Of course I would update my review if you did so. The game may have a very good solo and coop mode, I really don't know. Just not my cup of tea.

I know where the ammunition locker is because I am a superior gamer.
