You can usually get this for 69 cents on sale, so that in mind it's a not bad purchase then. However the game still managed to annoy me enough to ask for a refund. First of all there is something wrong with movement. It is kind of snappy, but same time there is this weird unsteadiness that makes moving on small platforms annoying. Basic gun is basically useless and I have no idea who thought this was a good design choice. For the weakest enemy you have to shoot ages to destroy it. Basically you just use rockets that have to recharge after you have emptied your ammo. Shooting also lacks proper feedback of hitting especially with bosses. Then the shooting controls have this weird thing where it gets stuck to previous direction and shoots the wrong way. This is especially annoying when fighting bosses. You also need to use rocket jumping a lot and it's fine when doing on spot, but not working properly when trying while running. The last complaints are graphics and level design. The backgrounds are often blending with the area where you can move. Level design is about exploration which is fine, but levels look so similar that every place looks the same. Then there are lot of leaps o…

Surprising little platforming gem. I had the game for a while and finally decided to give it a try. I just couldn't stop playing it. Truly amazing two-person-made homage to the games of yesteryear. Fully recommended!

When I first tried this game two years ago, I quickly dismissed it. Initially, I thought it might be a mini-Metroidvania, but it turned out to be a retro 2D run & gun action platformer. Aside from that, my initial impression was not great, as the game felt a bit off, overly challenging, and I lacked the motivation to push me through its demanding gameplay. However, update 1.0.1 brought a series of improvements that made the game much more enjoyable and ultimately easier. We got enhanced powers, adjusted bosses and enemies, fixed level design issues, and most importantly, life is restored at the beginning of each level, making the game more playable and less frustrating. The game still feels a bit dull, but the pixel art has charm and conveys the advertised 8-bit vibe (but there is nothing hardcore about it anymore—which might be a downer for purists). What's really missing is a cohesive story to tie it all together; while there is a background story and even some short pixelated cutscenes, it's difficult to follow and does not connect the dots. The levels are disjointed stages, without a connecting story or gameplay mechanic (like ability-gating). We need to find 1-4 keys on each…

I bought this game with a real sense of hype around the art-style and seemingly fast pace to it. First stage in I noticed every aspect of movement felt off for me. You move too fast horizontally whilst having a seriously janky jump (which feels oddly fast and jittery), enemies hit hard - yes hard, maybe that's the sense of (hardcore - old games) but simple as it didn't feel like that for me, it felt inconsiderate and outdated whilst also being to the detriment of the player intentionally (or unintentionally) for the sake of stating it "harks" back to older titles. The lack of direction and information in this game is it's downfall.
