It was rather well put-together, save for two problems. I didn’t care for having to push a button to go into “shoot mode”, when all it really does is make you zoom in. It makes more sense to just have z shoot normally without the added step, especially since you can still walk around while zoomed. Secondly, way too short. Short isn’t inherently a problem, but a 70+ mb game that you can finish in <5 minutes feels pretty dang weird. Still, with more levels and a bit of polish this one could be really good.

It was really good, I appreciate. I saw that you have used Music Maker Jam for your musics :D.
It's a complete game according to me, because, you have the attention to detail, like the tremor when you are in the final boss, I hope that you have the time to work on this project, because You have a lot of idea.
Thanks for the review :D. I had exams so I could not work too much on this game.
It's not complete because of the following reasons:
- It does not have an intro.
- There are 5 bosses planned, only 1 has been implemented.
- Some art is placeholder.
- I need to make more music.
- Multiplayer is not implemented.
- Level Editor is not implemented.
- Achievements are not implemented.
- Additional polish.
I read and appreciate every single comment. Happy to hear from you.

P.S: I saw that you added this game on your front page in a column called "Retro Games". Thanks a lot for that!
So I'm done with this game. Totally gave this giant slime of a virus a trashing.
Although I'm not sure how fun it is to MAKE, fighting a virus on the Win desktop was pretty cool, but didn't last long as you decided to take your nice pixel art somewhere else.
A keyboard/mouse combo would really make the controls easier.
Believe it or not, I tried this game via MS Remote Desktop, which convinced me never to do it again.
Okay somehow going to get access to a PC as this really does not do justice to all these games!
