Had a lot of fun with this one! The weapon variety was cool and so was the music. Only real nitpick I have (besides the issues with not sticking to the theme per-se) was that jumping up onto tiles could feel a bit weird, like their hitboxes extended further than expected or something.

Very nice little game. I made it to the end of level 1,  I liked the western theme with time travellers xD, art and music were good. I think the camera should be centred at the player and the bullets bigger and more visible. Other that that, you did a very good job.

This was definitely an ambitious project, with a lot of great art and music work. Nice job! Here's my playthrough.

Pretty cool game! Nice mechanics, particularly, the Visuals and Music was great! But I still have not been able to figure out which old game this game is based off

Developer
We were inspired by old platformers and loved the Jetpack and Flamethrower in Alien Carnage so wanted to make a platformer with a Jetpack and Flamethrower but set in a Wild West setting.

yeah Alien Carnage / Halloween Harry depending on the country it was released in. I loved that game
