I love crunkle series!
I really enjoyed this one! but It was extremely hard to rescue other characters (impossibly difficult in my case :D)
But I managed to defeat the crunkle boss! I just wish I had enough skill to manage other characters... I liked that you didn't implement permadeath though... because I died a lot :D :D :D
One nitpick - I noticed that "Violet" character has a pet from previous round but I didn't find how to use it... Would be nice to see some mechanics for it as well :) Also, shooting diagonally is quite challenging (maybe just my skill issue)
very classy game, loved it!
