GORGEOUS visuals.
Great music and sound design too.
I think the player's movement needs a little work, he feels a little bit sluggish to move horizontally.
I would pay for and play a polished full version of a game like this.
Fantastic entry, easily one of the best! Great job! :)
Controls seem tight, although it would be nice for controller support. Love the graphics and the colors; that said I feel like the main character has too many colors -- just a personal preference, nothing more. Sound is lovely, and well balanced. Definitely feels like a megaman game and has an early 90s feel. Also is certainly fun to play.
It's incredible that you nailed the megaman style, and i love it!
Excellent work! With smooth graphics, great sound, and solid level design, this is a fun game, and I don't really have much negative to say about it. My only major complaint is with the controls; it's a bit awkward to have the jump and shoot keys so close together.
I love this cute little game, especially the Metroid feel and the ability to jump on enemies to deal damage.
Fantastic entry! The sprite work and sound design were superb. What really makes this entry feel like an old school retro game was definitely the level design. The enemies over the pits, the blind jumps towards the instant death vines that required memorization more than reflexes sometimes, and the sections where you may accidentally get enemies to spawn when they are off-screen all did a great job of selling the theme. Nice job.
