Loot and Shoot

This game is highly addictive and challenging. You spend hours playing it without even noticing it. Beautiful retro graphics and atmospheric music make it even more pleasant experience. I would recommend it for players who like games with lots of challenges and slowly discovering more and more of the game.

Could use some polish. Jumps are a little floaty, despite falls feeling sudden. You climb each level to the exit, escaping rising lava that puts you on a time crunch. Level generation does not guarantee that a path to the exit is possible, and it's very easy to destroy platforms that you needed in order to escape. I think that it would help to either tighten controls, slow gravity and lava a bit, or adjust level generation to make pinpoint accuracy less important (ie, have longer indestructible flat spots with fewer gaps). I might remove the lava entirely. I'll put this one back on the shelf for a year or two.

Quite enjoyable, tough but fair. Glad my PS5 controller just works
