Thank you for putting time into commenting, i am humbled! :) I actually think that there are TOO many upgrades in the first stage..but i wanted to give you guys the "whole" experience as of now until i go and rebuild stuff, so i just threw in all of the upgrades here and there in the stage.
Wait you did not pick up the multi directional weapon ? There is one there! :)
You are totally right about the art assets! I borrowed 2 enemy sprites from my other game Aria Disconnect just to fill in more enemies! So you are totally on point there. The visuals needs "make up" ;)
Thanks again man :) ! I am also glad that you enjoyed the music, it was really fun to make, using the "restrictions" and the same-ish tools that they used for the real SNES. I really think i should continue building on this one..there is so much more cool stuff in the pipeline.
