Very cute game! I included it in my LowRezJam compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

This is simultaneously one of the more and least polished games I've played here!
It looks good visually and the sound effects fit pretty well, but it definitely is a little buggy as well. My only real complaint though is that enemies do way too much damage. Bats can kill you in two hits usually, but its impossible to aim up/diagonally so most times killing a bat was a suicide run.

This is a cute game though, and I really like the aesthetic :)

Nice to try the actual result on what I was following through PICO-8’s Discrod. Level design is good and core mechanics are in place. It’s a bit rough in the edges, true, but a nice little game altogether. I would suggest you to work a bit more on this version and fix some of the issues present (f.e. when you die your pistol still “lives and moves” for a while, it can even activate checkpoints ;) ) . In is important to pay attention to that sort of details to improve the gaming experience of the players. Once you round up things in this version you would have a simpler transition to a more complex engine like Godot. Well done and waiting to see where this prototype goes and other future projects you put up!

So much conveyed with so few pixels. You did a great job of making distinct areas in such a small space. There was a little bit of jank in some platforming and shooting, but it mostly felt fine. More feedback on some things would've been great. Checkpoints for example give no indication they've been activated. Some neat concepts were well executed in here though - colour coding the levers, hiding shootable blocks where the player is likely to shoot. Overall very charming despite it's flaws. I'd gladly play a larger version of this.
