A wonderful hardcore action platformer. The music is amazing and you'll want to listen to it even separately from the game. It's better to play with a gamepad. It would be nice to see an alternative keyboard layout. For example A/D move, J-shoot, K-jump
Fun and interestig! Love your game and congrats on release!
You nailed the NES look and feel! Congratulations :)
Nice cock.
The graphics and music are great, I love the title embedded in the level, I really like it.... on the other hand the collisions are a bit harsh... but it's very nice
A delightful throwback to the NES days. I do think the game spawns too many enemies if you linger at one area, though.
Super solid entry! the NES style pixel art style fits really well. Glad that the health pickups were pretty generous. pleasantly surprised that there not 1 but 2 bosses! You guys did great :)
Ghouls and ghosts meet dangerous dave, I'd say! Very old school and stylish. Polished too. Overall a great entry!
Music is stuck in my head
Great retro-styled entry! The beginning is a bit brutal as it is easy to get overwhelmed by enemies, but then once you reach the first boss I felt it was just the right amount of difficulty. It is pretty similar to Ghosts N' Goblins so can't really go wrong, the pixel art is great, it controls with no issue : overall a very solid entry, congrats!
Any plans of expanding it further down the line? :)
> Any plans of expanding it further down the line?
Somewhat unlikely but definitely possible in the future. As a straight-to-Newgrounds title perhaps? I'm already working on following up [our previous](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/57/spider-cave-offensive) [two entries](https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/48/miner-vitalya) as a [fantasy console sandbox game](https://cardboardbox.tech/stargazer/) so look forward to that first!
that is soo cooool:))
Very cool game, but too hard for me
Good entry! I love retro-vibes and 8-bit visual and music. The player's control feels a bit hard, especially a delay in animation before jump
Oh wow! Good game!!! This took me back in time when I first tried my friends NES! Really solid game entry!
I loved the graphics style and the title art = nice!!!!
The fun is present! Amazing work, the level of polish is outstanding
This brings me back to the good ol' NES days! This is genuinely a great retro experience!
Maaaaaaaaaaan that was tough! I played ghouls and ghost ( aka ghouls and ghosts ) on the mega-drive. Really liked the enemy types - once the ghosts came out it was hard to avoid death. One small thing, would be vertical shooting, especially trying to take out the flying enemies like the ghosts and eyeballs :v:
