Neat game! I included it in my compilation video series of the Low Rez Jam games, if you would like to take a look :)

Great game!
I love gameplay with the permanent upgrade.
Also, I made it to the end with the bottom choice with character who had the lowest HP and high damage.
It is pretty hard, but everything is polished and crunchy! I pressed the reset game button R on accident because it is was next to interact E.
On that note, are you a giant letter E with a gun? That is fine if it is, E is the second most badass letter. I'd love to see some high rez concept art of our heroes.
Love it man! These are my type of games, really cool game. And I'm talking on the original version. I'll try the updated version now :D cheers bro!
Awesome game, definitely feels like there was some time spent polishing it unlike my own game. (probably because I cramed most of my work into the last 3 days... but it was also the first project I had 'completed' [since it's technically not complete yet...] ;) )
Yep, this is wonderful :) I like the character movement, enemy variety, and the powerup progression starting from a user-selected set of character properties. Also, awesome music & nice art. Plays so smoothly with a controller. Nice job and thanks for sharing!
this game is pretty damn hard. really like the player selection, simple but effective! the game feels great to play too and the music is bumping. Congrats, great submission
@JackOatley yep there are keyboard controls, you just have to unplug the gamepad and then the game will display them...that's probably a terrible UI design on my part haha. Thanks for the feedback, I suck at reading tiny pixel text so, I made them big in favor of readability over design. Any tiny font recommendations?
Is there in-game keyboard controls to this as well? I had to use gamepad... I don't know if that's the reason I sucked at it so bad, though. I really like the graphics and audio, some of the presentation could use work though. Like having an obvious back button on the menus and using a smaller font for your text boxes; when you can only fit 2 - 3 words there's obviously an issue. :P I know it's difficult at this res though, but worth mentioning.
Great work! Simple graphics but challenging and funny gameplay. Really nice game!
