Wow a lot going on here.
The graphics and sound were great retro feel and really fit the theme well.
I did two play throughs - only made it to two battles on first try (had no idea what I was doing)
second try I made it through 7 last one was super hard, I had "bandage" on the second run and that helped a lot
some more information about what specials do would be nice as would a easy way to swap equipment, but overall very ambitious game that plays it off well, thanks for submitting
