Captain Kalani Definitive Edition

The idea is here but it's so poorly made that it's confusing to play sometimes. Artstyle in cutscenes is incosistent. Several times I beat level after dying. Character shooting with a delay which makes combat more annoying than fun. Many bosses can be defeated by just damageboosting them. Absolutely no music or any sounds in menues and cutscenes. And despite dev talking about plugging crt monitor, interface breaks on 4:3 screen. Doublejumping feels nice.

Played it quite a bit I can tell you the pros and cons of this game. Pros: Funny cutscenes (sometimes don't make sense), double jump, vehicle levels, and can be played on a literal toaster. Cons: limited weapons, easy enemies ( literally just can pass by them) , no controller configuration ( played on keyboard literally has to press every button to find out what is what), music feels boring, easy bosses and enemies, Health pickups feels unnecessary and coins. I can just reset to continue if i feel have no lives. vending machine is useless. Chapter 1: Played through the game normally. The basic gun is ♥♥♥♥. Ran through the whole stage without shooting till the robot boss. Some enemies don't damage you. Chapter 2: Got a new weapon. Rapid-fire gun with infinite ammo. Got lost in the stage until I found this green robot guy and killed him. Next, vehicle level is great. Shoot enemies Shmup and fight the boss at the end. Kinda short and died a couple times but i enjoyed it. Chapter 3: Lost the double jump. Ran through the stage without constantly shooting. Got bored at this point but finished the chapter. Again, another vehicle level, Fun and great with the bike prespective but sti…

The game is enjoyable. Graphics are awesome and I enjoy fighting an assortment of enemies and bosses. There is a part where you ride on a bike and fly a ship that breakup the basic on-foot stages. Unfortunately due to a certain part in the game that I mentioned in the "discussions section", I cannot proceed to complete the game. Hopefully the game developer finally replies with help.

Update: the bug mentioned below has been fixed. A fun throwback to classic action games. Your hero can shoot with his weapon and use his jetpack to double jump. There isn't anything else to see here. The gun has a limited number of bullets in the chamber, but it automatically reloads after you're out. Manual reloading is not an option. Controls function OK with a keyboard, but the gamepad has some issues. I'm not sure whether it varies by type, but the command for moving through text and pause were both stuck on the same button. It's not a major deal because I just skipped the text with a keyboard. Your opponents are robots that can be disabled with a few of shots. Coins they drop allow you to purchase health and extra lives from vending machines. But you can easily ignore them. This is due to the fact that you cannot really lose the game. You start with three lives, but losing them all returns you to the stage's first screen with all three lives. A stage consists of four or five screens and concludes with a boss fight. It isn't too difficult because you have a shield that slowly recharges and a good amount of health. If you're feeling courageous, you may avoid the enemies and…

Great art style, soundtrack, and interesting storyline! Could use some help checking the input systems in the main menu, because when using a mouse/keyboard it can be a bit tricky, but if you have an Xbox controller everything works smoothly. Super recommended if you are looking for retro games like contra, metroid, etc.
