Then change them in options.
Good 8-bit and decent difficulty, but what makes this game only 2 stars... the controls.
Yes, there are 3 types of controls, but all are the same setup. What's the point of having an UP arrow and using the W in WASD, if you can't use it to JUMP!?! Even having the SPACE BAR as the jump key is far more common! A keyboard is nothing like an arcade machine setup, there is no joystick to move and there are far more than 2 buttons... so with the same setup with each type of controls, the results are the same - FAR harder game play with the requirement of getting used to the controls.
Also, why is it so easy to pick up another weapon? And if I deselect, why does it go back to being the starter weapon? Terrible.
This is just a worse version of ninja gaiden on the nes. If I wanted to play ninja gaiden, I would have gotten a rom for my emulator. The graphics and everything are pretty good, but there is little originality here. With your skills you could make a great original 8 bit game that rivals the classics you're paying homage to. Better luck next time.

i suck at this crap
WAY WAY too damn hard. When it takes an experienced gamer like me half an hour to pass the first level? Sorry but no. Well made other than that, but damn.
