That was fun! The art is superb. The mechanics are highly competent, and the bosses had good designs to them. The music is also pretty cool.

I accidentally broke the game by dying as Chip-Chimp was defeated, which caused them to not appear again. I walked out of the room and ended up back on the first ship. Strange glitch.

The sound effects seem a bit louder than the music.

All-in-all, great work!

Thanks! Glad you like :)

Cool game, I especially love the graphics! Unfortunately the game isn’t rendered in the 160x144 resolution, you should’ve used the Pixelart camera or something…

Hii, by the rules we can upscale the game, as long as the native is 160x144, and thanks for the compliment!

Music is awesome, graphics look cool!  I wasn't sure if it was intentional or not, but my ship kept pulling up and to the right?

I wish I could say that's a feature! That did not happened to me while playing but I'm writing up to the coder to check it up. As the musician I'm glad you have enjoyed! I wish the other tunes could have been implemented as well! <3

I had a sneaking suspicion it was an issue on my end, don't worry about it too much...

listen man this game is hard... got to cheat-A and gave it like 10 attempts. couldnt get past it, its like Ninja Gaiden the NES.
The game is good and very game-boy or 8-bit-y. There is a lot of details even in small stuff like menues and credits scenes. You made real good use of scenes. I give you very good score

You can't cheat on that boss fight! I personally took some time to beat it. We're fixing them for the bug-free version once the voting is done. Thank you very much for the score! <3 Props to Magnno, Choquetel and Bacchox for the stunning programming and artwork!

very well put together! there's a lot of polish on the sound effects, and everything feels very clean and intuitive!! the bossfight was a little hard since enemies could hone in on you from all directions, but you could only shoot left/right, but the platforming was very well designed!  great job!

Thank you!! I put some effort to make it sound cool and I'm glad you liked that!! Yeah, that Cheat-A is kinda of a cheater itself... Glad the overall game design was clean and intuitive <3
