Good fun! Got through the whole thing, just two things:
1. The final checkpoint doesn't work, after activating it you still get sent back to the previous one.
2. What is the final button for? Just a red herring? If so, it was successful.
Would be great if the game had an end goal to strife toward. It feels a little anti-climactic when unlocking diamonds as there is no real reason to keep playing after. That being said, I'm still letting the game run in the background haha. (Little bug: The bomb count isn't capped at the max capacity when upgrading it. Nothing really bad about it, just wanted to point it out.)
You really nailed the old-school arcade feeling with this game! It was good fun, though I wish it would have a little more enemy variety and this might just be a me thing but I got lost in the hacking screen twice haha. Was surprised but happy to find the sniper rifle, was fun to try lining up the shots to take out multiple enemies. Nice work overall!
This was amazing, great work!
Loved the shaking hand whenever I pulled out the map. Would've been cool to pull it back up on a button press or when running back to the location where I lasted pulled it up since I happened to run past that moment too quickly and missed how far I progressed.
Also the everlasting shroom allowed me to cheese pretty hard where I was able to just use it every turn while I left one of the small foes alive (I got up to 200HP before I decided that it was enough lol).
Besides these nitpicky points it really was a great experience, enjoyed every second of it!
