This was great! Had a lovely time trying it out!
First off, I love the bootleg characters! I don't think I got all the references but definitely at least one 😅
The fakeout was also really good: For how... well... Janky looking the game is, there were actually some pretty neat mechanics!
I think this game falls very solidly into "So bad it's good"! It really feels made to be bad, which is an achievement!
I think a bit more sound would be good, and yeah I couldn't get past the last sets of enemies, but otherwise I loved it!
