Mediocre

Very uninteresting for a front pager. Granted, your graphics are alright, but the final boss wasn't very entertaining and losing the jetpack sucked. All the upgrades aside from the jetpack feel meaningless, so losing that one meaningful upgrade was pretty killer.

Adding SFX to more of the actions would have immersed me more. The deaths have no sfx, most boss attacks have no sfx, the robot doesn't telegraph his lazor, which is just an annoying insta-death. Not to mention the level one bug. A level 3 bug would suggest little playtesting, but a level 1 bug suggest no playtesting.

Mediocre in every way.

Frustrating and lacks playability

The game's bosses were interesting, but the one attack-button style of gameplay got old really fast, even with new weapons. Also, the hitbox for your character is huge, I found myself getting hit by projectiles that seemed like they were too far away from me to actually make contact. I liked the music a lot, but there were no sound effects for anything else... kind of a let-down.

k then......

The game has a good idea behind it and lets face it the fro was pretty funny, but you seriously gotta fix the bugs in this game. I had to reload it twice because the second boss glitches up when you continue. It makes an explosion when he shoots, but nothing comes out plus he is invincible. Overall this would be a good game it's just that it has bugs and bad ones at that too. I vote a 4/5 and a 5/10 just cause of the effort and the good idea behind the game.

Would be great, but lacks debugging and polish

The game is fun, the bosses are creative (the fro one was a great laugh in particular), and all in all, it's a great way to kill half an hour. I'd give this a 10 if it weren't for the major bugs and lack of polish.

Bugs I found:
1. Sometimes you walk backwards for no good reason. This is especially likely to occur on the first boss when he has the gun.
2. If you continue or restart, the missile boss in the first level glitches. He does a flame poof like he's about to fire, but he doesn't, and though his health bar will empty, he's invincible. Since you can neither kill him or die, the only way to continue is to completely reload the game.
3. The game says there's a reward for beating it without continues. I did so (even finished with 8 lives left), and there was a gold star on the title screen labeled PERFECT, but nothing was added to the menu. I tried playing again in case it had extra weapons, a bonus boss, or something like that, but nothing appeared to change. Of course, it's possible that the bonus is further into the game, and I'm just not seeing it because bug #2 makes it impossible to beat level 1 on a second playthrough.

As for the lack of polish, there's a couple of little things, such as the boss with the extended arm that tries to squish you being able to kill you a good few frames before he actually touches you.

It's a good game all in all, but I hope you release a V1.1 to clean it up, as it will then be a great game.
