Very dark, gameplay was fun, interesting music. I like it!

Flimsy controls but overall quite fun to play and the sprite colors work perfectly with each other. Nicely done!

Really great entry. I hope more people play it! I like the story its inviting. Theres a lot there for the time given: good show.

Gave up, the poor collision detection combined with inconsistent and sensitive controls did it in for me. The game looked nice and music wasn't bad. Theme tie in was a bit weak, a single bullet that can't be used until you need to is a stretch. no real choice there.

Yeah the character movement is a bit strange when responding to collision with walls, but the game is still fun to play. Nice art, great mood too, I just found the levels too easy/short.
Good game!

Character movement was a little stiff but once I get past this I really enjoyed it. The mood was perfectly set, and the ending was just so sad.

All in all a nice game! There's one map where I am stuck at the moment (the first map with two of the big ones). Very hard and challenging, maybe also because of jump'n'run technic which was used. Very funny and nice sounds :)

Good use of the theme and straight forward good working gameplay :)

Solid platformer you got here. It's a little unforgiving but it might have also been me being bad at the game. Good audio and story.

Movement: Yeah, it kind of sucks. At least you can get used to it?

Difficulty: It might be a bit hard (actually the map with two of the big ones is the last one @TheWhiteLLama), but all of my beta testers got through it so it's definitely possible to complete. I hope everybody doesn't mind playing through it before rating because the ending is pretty important to the game!

Relatively short and not too long, but pretty good! Is there a different ending? I got the "bad" one, and I'm pretty sure I never used my bullet, but I couldn't fire it at the end, I thought that's what you had to do. Still, a decent game, even though the controls could be tighter.

Really liked how you introduce the story and how the game starts with the music that kicks in and so :) Good graphics too. Bad jump/collision though. But still the game is doable and fun to play.

Pew, those controls... I surely died 50 times in the second to last room before finally reaching the end.
But other than that - pretty good. Especially the music and overall mood you set up with those signs. And a good interpretation of the theme. Kind of tragical.

Cool game. The graphics look good! The background color of the gray tile doesnt contrast well with the white tile and for me it took some time to get that the white tile was "collidable". Not a big issue it was my fault, but i would make them contrast more. The rest of the graphics are cool.

Talking about the mechanics, the collision detection and the controls were, for me, the worst problem. But the game is fun to play.


If you have time, rate my game too. I would really appreciate it :)

Nice little game! I liked the overall atmosphere of this. Controls are bit weird sometimes, but nice job on this. :-)

Nice graphics, poor controls/collisions but fun.

Very fun game. Very nice music and simplist art style. I like it.
