Pros:
- Very clean and colourful art
- A very good name that simultaneously fits the theme idea perfectly and hilariously
- A homage well paid with the world construction
Cons:
- Controls are a bit swimmy and heavy
- That homage in world construction is quite confusing
Here & There:
There's a lot of nice components to this game, and I need to doubly express my joy at the name being such a perfect fit while simply shifting the letters over by one… it's just serendipitous. The art is fantastic and though the music is curated it fits quite nicely, though I've definitely heard that Kevin Macleod song before. The movement of FU is a little momentum-heavy and so it slides a bit more than I'd like, and the neck extension works but not in the intuitive way it would seem to. I tried keeping track of each area to know where to get the last cartridges but they're just big enough and separated by walls enough that it gets a little too difficult to keep it all in my head while going through. I managed to find the last cartridge after only a couple minutes of wandering and also made my way back to the start without much trouble but some sort of aid in that regard could be hugely impactful. The shooting feels nice and has a nice punchy impact. The enemies could stand to telegraph their attacks and damage taking though, as it feels like you're encouraged to spam shots that while fun is a little more mindless than it has to be. Some variety in that respect would have been cool too, if even a sprite swap to something other than the standard enemy. For some reason I expected the outro to be that FU gathers the carts only to then burn the planet entirely but I guess I'm just a maniac that thinks those kinds of thoughts. A fun if slightly confusing romp through the park. Nicely done!
