I would have paid .99 cents for this.4 found this helpful
As a sucker for 2D platformer/shooters- I enjoyed this, but it's definitely a flawed game. My biggest complaints would be: - Not enough invincibility frames. If you are not careful, you can lose your life to one enemy in seconds. - No checkpoints. There are several levels- why isn't there a checkpoint after each one? When I lose on level 4, it's annoying having to restart from the very beginning. - Also some achievements would be great for such a game.4 found this helpful
