oh man i did not expect coming across this today xD
i really enjoyed it, the art and music are great, the style reminds me of nitrome alot, one thing that i didnt like at the start of playing was that i was messing up the jump button with the shoot button, i could get used to it and i partualy did but maybe enable setting the jump button to maybe like the space bar or something (also it was kiiiinda hard but i personaly dont mind that much)
But those modern spawn points tho XD. Better be lucky they didn't go full retro authentic! The only reason you find the buttons strange is that it's not really meant to be played on PC. It's a GBA game, the Web Emulator has different buttons mapped to a key. It's only trying to give as close an experience to the GBA as possible, that's all
