Cool game, definitely Donkey Kong vibes. I got stuck on level 14 though and was unable to pass the first barrel. I tried ~120 times and still no luck after getting past it 5 times in a row initially. I like the amount of levels and ability to relaunch the game with my progress saved! Fun game for sure

Really cool play on taking the donkey kong barrels and making a level based puzzle game out of them! I will say there were some levels that I thought the spinning cycles were really weird and I'd have to wait many rotations before I was able to shoot into the automatic shooting barrels that seemed to be on a slightly faster/slower rotation (unless I'm seeing these things wrong). Very fun game!
Interesting expansion on the Donkey Kong barrel mechanic. It could benefit from clearer tutorial levels (I got stuck at the slime barrels).
A preview of the trajectory could be useful, I think the challenge (and fun) of this game comes more from timing your shot rather than visualizing its path.
By the way, Windows defender was detecting Behavior:Win32/DefenseEvasion.A!ml in your exe.
No control over movement, and fires with uncontrolled targeting.
My years of playing Donkey Kong Country prepared me for this moment. Really addictive (and fun) game. It has that "Just one more" feeling to it. The art and sound really fit the vibe well. Nice work!
Some levels were tricky, but it was satisfying getting to the end. And the soundtrack was chill! I enjoyed playing.
Fun game with a nice relaxing soundtrack! I thought a lot of the level design and difficulty ramp was well done. My one piece of criticism is that there were a few levels where you have to do the same maneuver a couple of times, when I was struggling to get through even the first one lol. So maybe just one or two times would suffice for those levels. Fun entry!
Sound and artwork were really solid. Gameplay was fun, clean, and just right in terms of difficulty. Interesting play on the theme. It would work really well as a mobile game.
Love the classic DK barrel mechanic! Soundtrack is so chill. fun game!
