This game is Stupid.... and I fricken love it. Outside of the ridiculous plot the gameplay is solid. Semi standard run n gun. A little more tactical than the average but the controls are tight. A small assortment of upgrades and weapons but all in all a very good game. I tip my hat to the developers.

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!

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