Cool game, the controls are very responsive which is good for this kind of games, I also like the artstyle and sound effects. I think you could have added an explanation as to why you are killing the hostages. Also it would be better to start the level with an easy area and then make it progressively harder, as it is now it seems the starting room is the hardest.

Thanks!
Honestly, I originally thought of an explanation for the game that was like "The bank robbers have hostages so we can't attack them. Kill their hostages so they lose their clout" or something along those lines. However, due to lack of time i simply stated "You have to kill the hostages and spare the bank robbers" to make it easy.
Regarding the beginning: yes, it's true it's the hardest area. I should have thought it better.
Thanks for playing and for the feedback!
