A cut above.
Thoroughly impressed with what's been done so far. The controls feel tight, gameplay is well thought out. The music is a highlight and keeps you bopping as you shoot your way through each distinctly stylized level. I appreciate how the game demands your attention and mastery in order to complete it on the higher difficulties. Reminiscent of past scroller shooters but with it's own identity.
The scenario/story allows for some really cool level design; very much looking forward to what comes next. The polish on this gem is so shiny that you can see it from space.
Keep working on it, can't wait to see the finished product!
