I like your drawing

I'm digging the music and audio aesthetic. I can't figure out how to get the key, though.

The pace is very frantic. I didn't know any way to avoid two of the hits, so getting the second key must be difficult...

Nothing but the essential. Good game.

The music in the game is what sold me on it! Really well done there. My only complaint is that I wanted to shoot up and down the whole game. Apart from that a very impressive 48 hour game!

The art is fantastic, man. And i like the game in general, though i don't agree with your philosophy of only orizontal shooting xD

I like the audio and the graphics of this game. This is a good game.

Really digged the 1bit graphics, the animations were nice and the music and sound worked well. I was doubly impressed since you say you completed it in half the 48 hours. The controls felt smooth, and the game play felt very fun.

I liked the fact that you could only shoot side ways yet move in any direction, I also liked the fact that you could only shoot in the direction you were running. Both these elements added a sort of extra challenge. The shooting side ways gave it a feeling of a side-scrolling space shooter.

The levels felt well made, there were plenty of them yet the game didn't feel as if it dragged on, the variety of enemies kept the game interesting. After dying on a level you often learnt something, like knowing a better place to flee in that particular area, so when you encountered it again you were able to beat it without frustration and without many failed attempts.

Overall I'm fairly impressed with this entry and had fun playing it! Though deceptively simple it was very enjoyable.

Great job on this one! Solid gameplay, and great level design.

Very good! I accidentally clicked the new button after dying a number of times. This was very frustrating and eventually lead to me quitting the game. I think it would have been better if the level had just restarted automatically when you died. Other than that, I think it's a great game. I love the music. The levels are very well designed and there is obviously a lot of content there.

Not being able to shoot up or down got me in a little trouble, but I liked the added challenge. You nailed the theme on this one, very nice.

Great mood ! Amazing job on the music.

Only sideways shooting with enemies coming from all angles can get a little frustrating. Other than that it's pretty decent, good job!
