The game is nice and I like the graphics and mechanics but a few issues with the sound glitching and being endless otherwise nice game, I didn't know the fire was limited until level 3.

Good job making a simple 8 bit style game with one simple input! I just wish when you lose a level you can just retry it immediately instead of having to restart the whole game. I enjoyed playing, have a good little game here!

Ants of Jam: Justice UnleashedGreat concept and nice game design. I was having a problem getting my fireball charged up to shoot. I would click and hold the left mouse button but it wouldn't shoot the fire ball. Thus I died too often. Maybe change it so that right click sends a fire ball instead? Nice work.

BURN demonsI like the attention to various mechanics like the UI elements scrolling. Personally I think the music was a bit jarring (but considering the medium you were targeting possibly understandable!) and I felt it difficult to understand the various obstacles without dying too often and getting frustrated. I really liked the use of screen space and the attempt at hitting as many themes and objectives as possible - tough!

AstroVoidsThanks a lot for trying it out.
The idea for the main story is to try it out multiple times like how nintendo hard side-scrollers used to work. You're not expected to beat the final boss at your first try since how many fireballs you have for the final boss depends on how many hearts you manage to not lose in each level.
Fantastic job making me feel like I was playing a game on my Game Boy. I was very happy to see this achievement announcement because I knew people would be brave enough to go for it! One question that I have about game play is the ability to dodge bullets or shoot down the bullets. I could not figure out how to get around that? Is there a way? Nice job on the jam!
