I clicked because the name amused me and am so, so glad I did. Leaving the menu music open just to jam to it while writing this. Feels like the art and music are basically perfect? I mean, there’s too much crash cymbal towards the end of the loop in the main game imho but that’s just a matter of taste. Love the palette for the art. Truly feels like a forgotten classic game that time forgot, like “hey you remember Glorbo on the Neo-Geo Pocket?”
It comes with some pretty old school sensibilities about character movement and weightiness, that I don’t necessarily love but it felt more like “wow this actually takes work to be good at and I don’t have the time for it right now” than tedious and unfun. I didn’t like that being able to hold down fire to keep shooting was locked behind a (temporary?) upgrade, and it felt very punishing but that choosing anything but insane would be a little boring? Maybe that’s a me problem.
So far I think this is the best entry I’ve tried and hope y’all get the recognition you deserve for this awesome game!
