Love the metal gear + contra aesthetic dude. Music pumps me up. Small criticism is the speed of the projectiles, it's kinda hard to dodge. Very good visuals though :)

The speed was a bit unbalanced!

I'm so happy you feel all pumped up about our game and music :) Also I love the metal gear+contra merge :)

Thank you very much for your feedback!

90:s and snes was something special and Contra was definitely an inspiration. Your citisism is heard good sir and i appreciate you taking your time to comment!

First of all, the music is GREAT!

Then, the game is well balanced and has good mechanics. It brings you to go fast, avoid projectiles, and keep killing enemies to get the power up. However, I think a defensive skill could be appropriate.


Nice job, loved it!

You're correct, we had an idea for a defensive skills but not the time to implement it.

But I'm thrilled you loved our game, thank you very much for all you feedback and your kind words :)

Reply
Retrochamber GamesDeveloper3 years ago

Yeah, absolutely true. Enemies should not have gotten the power up

I'm thrilled you that you love our choice of music and game. Love your feedback! Thank you very much :)

Love the aesthetics! Definitely my kind of game! But very difficult! The enemies shoot at you from off screen, but you can't shoot them back, that was brutal, but love the game and everything about it. Bangin' music!

Fun game! Great art and music, I was a bit confused on when I died, a health bar would have been great. Other than that good job!
