Not much of a game and the time wasted pressing the right arrow button is barely compensated for what's happening on the screen, also having a female heroine and a male in distress is not enough for this to be a "critical game" even if Anita Sarkasian says otherwise. I liked the pixel art style and the music though.

If you hate the game because it's not much fun to be maimed and left for dead by forces beyond your control instead of being able to shoot down five enemies with a single bullet and take down a helicopter with a bow and arrow, then you've got the point of the game completely.
It's subpar and lazy for not letting you advance text and letting you crawl all the way off the screen (it's not like I'm giving it 5 stars), but it doesn't really need to be fancy. Now if he were to make a game where you were maimed and had to crawl your way to a MASH unit to survive with obstacles that are tough to overcome, trying not to black out from a concussion or exsanguinate or such, that'd be 5 stars, even if you still got killed half the time by forces beyond your control just to get the message across.

Where were you able to crawl off the screen? I thought I had snagged all those bugs!
As for the gameplay bits, it was originally going to be a masocore game where the player would have to dodge various enemies and bullets while crossing the highway (death would still static them back to the beginning), but it became obvious that we didn't feel left out of the action; we had fun with that approach and felt like 'main characters,' so gameplay was reduced to the current bleed-out-static so the player is constantly aware of their minimal control (its a weak gameplay mechanic designed to contrast with the shoot-em-up actions of the back heroine). It felt that adding means of death beyond player controlled ones would emphasize the player's role too much. Thank you for the feedback!
war isnt always so pretty
I like the idea of it, but not much of a game.
