Straight up excellent. The pixel art and music and music really stand out. Super impressive for a jam game.

I guess I shouldn't be so surprised by this entry after checking out your twitter and realising you're actually a professional pixel artist in the industry, but... even taking that into account, this is still pretty incredible, especially for a week.
It controls well, it plays well, it looks gorgeous, it's full of loving Giant Bomb references, and the soundtrack is great (and don't even get me started on that final battle!). I especially liked the slide invulnerability frames, which made the otherwise pretty hard single player much more accessible.
The whole thing is just a smart mix of Contra/Metal Slug and I would legitimately pay for a full-length version of a game built on this same framework. Well done!

Black MondayFantastic pixel art and animations - tight controls - very impressive!

ANNIVERSARY FOREVERIt's all the little things - the hit effects, the height variance of the bullets, the squashing and stretching of the sprites in the jump, even the animated static on the portraits in the text boxes - that make this feel like the most polished entry I've played so far. I know how much it takes to get the major features in (like, you know, JUMP and SHOOT) that to see all the little details that are in here just blows my mind. Also the art itself is so crisp and overall cohesive. And it didn't even (noticeably?) break on me. It's great. Fantastic job.

Giant Bomb's 10 Year Launch WindowDude are you kidding me? This was fantastic! I'm so impressed with the quality for something created during a game jam! Seriously... gameplay, visuals, sound... all really fantastic! Great work!
My favorite thing overall though was the fact that Ben was too tall to fit into his character portrait. Such a great little touch!
This was fantastic! Great art and sound, can't believe how much you were able to accomplish
