Really enjoyed this game. The platforming was tight (I think the only thing I didn't like was the immediate killing of vertical momentum when the jump was released, I think just a touch more "bounce" after you let go would feel slightly more natural as opposed to it feeling like you hit an invisible block the instant you let go of space).

I got into quite a groove when I was playing and only got hit when I got to the boss section, which was quite a spike in difficulty but it didn't feel unfair, I just had to learn the rhythms. I beat it on my first go, but it didn't feel too easy, especially since I'm one of those people who don't like games that are needlessly difficult. Let me have fun! Which is what this game did.

The graphics were simple, but suited to the gameplay. I really liked the background elements like the flamingo and stuff, it added that Super Mario 2 sorta vibe to the game. I had a lot of fun overall, so great job!

Great giana sisters revisited.   I also submitted a platformer-like thingy, with some spice in geo and logic.

Wow! That boss was terrifying! Getting used to the gun's recoil was key. The graphics are charming, and the music harmonizes with the environment! Well done!

Suggestions:

• The enemies have too much hitpoints! I have to shoot them a lot. (4 or 5 times);
• After shooting, during the recoil, the character falls from the ladders if it's exactly in the top middle of one. I think its a bug.

• When the boss first defeated me... (yes, it did!), the character spawned with just one hitpoint. Is it suppose to be this way? Because in the beginning of the game, the character has 6 hitpoints;

I enjoyed your game, very good!

I thought this was a super cool game. Great graphics, great sound, and the chiptune gave off the old school vibes, big time. It was easy to play, but also challenging. Great work!!

Wow! That's some major kickback on that gun! :) 

Great visuals and usage of colors. Nice platforming and glad you added input for the control pad.

OMG I LOVE THIS! Such a perfect SNES Vibe! You have captured the spirit of a 'mario' type game perfectly! I had a blast! I also really enjoyed the control scheme. I'm not a big fan of 'spacebar for jump' but most people are used to it (hence why I did it in mine), but using JKL was really comfortable and easy. I wish more games would use JKL for controls, but for some reason a lot of people don't like it. No idea why. haha. 

Either way, great work! I had a ton of fun and it was very nostalgic in a way! Made me feel like I was a kid in the 90's playing the newest hottest game on the market! Great work!

This game makes me happy. Your graphics are really cute!!

Well done, beautiful action platformer!

I didn't understand why he reacted like that when he shoots (as if he was taking damage). Music at the levels quickly gets boring. It's better to make it quieter by default.

Some opponents (cubes on legs) look sad that they don't even want to shoot at them.

Good luck in development, if planned =)

Great game, the gameplay reminded me of Super Mario Bros on the NES. I loved the shooting effect with the little knockback and the character closing its eyes, super cute. Main feedback is the enemies probably took a few too many hits to kill and the background was very bright so it competed with the foreground graphics. Perhaps turning down the saturation of the background to make the foreground stand out more would have helped? Great job overall!

I finished your game, I thought it was a lot of fun. Happy birthday!

I kept looking for ways to use the boost that the player receives when shooting but I didn't find anything, maybe it would be interesting to create some mechanics to use this boost.

Good enough platformer, if a bit too easy!

Removing health would probably make it more challenging :)

ahh fun little platformer! music is a bop!

amazing artist!

Hey, glad to see you got it working! I love the art style, it reminds me of something but idk what. It plays very smoothly, I didn't find any collision bugs. Some quite creative puzzles given the simplicity of the level elements! I also enjoyed how long the levels were. 

I actually found it was easier to just not use the gun and avoid the enemies, than it was to worry about where the recoil would send me. 

I'd also suggest some different controls as I found these ones quite awkward. I would have used W for jump and space to shoot. Or if space has to be jump, shift could have been shoot too. 

Overall, great entry!

PS: I let the enemy sleeping in the neon gates be. He looked so peaceful. Although I bumped into hm by accident, he didn't wake up so I hope he slept ok. 

The platforming was pretty entertaining. I enjoyed skipping lasers and ducking to avoid the bullets in succession. Very satisfying. Sound was a little repetitive. I did enjoy the aesthetic and the parallax made it background pretty interesting. I also liked the recoil when you shoot. Really made the bullets feel powerful and also added an extra challenge. Appreciated the generous health/life pools. Think that works really well for a jam entry.

Retro game done right! Cheers!

Really fun! I love the vaporwave background and art in general. My favorite thing is what you did with the shooting, I think there is a lot of potentials to do cool stuff with that. My biggest gripe with the game is that some things felt unclear as to whether or not they were dangerous i.e. the enemies blowing up when they die came across to me like they were bombs, and the blue laser looked more friendly than the red. But overall really great!
