I loved this game, once I found out that I can shoot ! Interesting 80s vibe, both from the music and graphics, a bit Robotron, a bit Sokoban and other puzzle elements. So satisfying to beat the game. One thing that would make it better is adding sound effects

This was really cool! I like the presentation, everything is very clear and it's easy to parse everything that's onscreen. All it needs is some SFX/VFX to really take it to the next level! Great job, you got a hell of a lot done!

The later puzzles with the numbered blocks is a pretty clever idea (Although the hitboxes of the blocks themselves seem a bit wonky). I could see you doing a lot of interesting puzzles with that mechanic, if getting the blocks to where they needed to be was part of the puzzle along with figuring out which combination of blocks to use. Really cool idea!

• Theme:  Ties in through the   intro scene
• Fun:  I  enjoyed how the aesthetic tied into the gameplay. The bit projectiles were awesome. Having the enemies also only able to shoot in 8 directions would be  more    consistent with the player. It felt a little imbalanced that the enemy projectiles could track the player.
• Controls: The collision box on the player was a bit too big. I was able to push one of the blocks to the side from the top.
• Graphics:  I  liked the animations and the art. It felt like a Tron style game.
• Audio:  Solid
• A11y:  Nice to include respawning at the room entrance
• Originality:  The game has a good foundation. You nailed capturing the ideas of the two games.

This game was really fun. I enjoyed playing it, and think you have a successful idea here. As you said, it might help to have more to it. I also think it would be more natural to have one fire button, and fire in the direction you're facing, but I wouldn't complain about the controls at all - just maybe an alternative scheme to how they could work. I doubt there's anything else I can say that you don't already know - maybe only thing that Node2D now contains the logic for Y-Sort. You can turn that on and in general it makes things work better when you have the player in front of or behind boxes and stuff, makes the correct parts disappear. I think I'd probably also switch to more standard RPG view instead of pure top-down, but that's just me.

It’s a little odd that dying in any of the rooms just puts you back to the room, but I thank you sop much for that, because the game is really not set up for a real death system outside of that puzzle to get the green key card. That puzzle more than any of the others really feels like I’m cheating the design, like the solution was some unintended thing found in testing and not a core part of the game. Still really fun, though!
