A pretty fun game overall. Some of the fights were pretty tough, especially on hard mode. The sprites look good, and although I didn't care that much for the music, together, they help to sell the game as an arcade-style one. My main complaint was actually with the controls; Penguin Man's jump height is always the same and can't be controlled by how long you hold down the button, which feels a little awkward. Still, good job overall!

I'm really impressed with this one, the graphics are not super polished but there is a lot of unique art (and all those cutscene graphics!). The gameplay is really fun, the bosses have a good amount of variety. I'm really impressed and grateful that you put in remappable controls, and I'll be darned if I wasn't invested in the story.
My one complaint would probably be having a continue option, as Lion King was a pretty brutal fight and it was unfortunate to have to play through bad whale and electric mouse to get back to him.
I love the characters and animation here. I particularly like the expression when you or the opponents get hit by the attacks. It's a Mega Man style boss rush, that's the main inspiration I see. The standard shot has a cool down, though I found that waiting in between invulnerability cycles when shooting the bosses had me pacing my shots correctly.

RADISH MASTERVery fun, and charming :)
Also very "complete" thanks to your inclusion of an options menu, dialog, story/cutscenes, and a hardmode.
Great job! ^_^

Fen the FoxI love the different characters and the unique boss fights + story elements. The whole thing was really well presented and super fun to play. The difficulty curve is pretty good too- I can't beat the final boss yet, but he feels like a good challenge. Overall, awesome!
