I love it. It's fun, keeps me motivated and I like its humor.
However, I gave only 3.5 stars because of the broken saving system. Got stuck at the loading screen for the second time now after trying to continue the game.

Hi! Thanks so much for the feedback and really sorry you've found this issue.
A few people have reported similar issues with the loading getting stuck so there's clearly a bug floating around somewhere I missed during testing.
If you have the time, I'd hugely appreciate it if you could send a copy of the Javascript log during the failed load (on Chrome go to View->Developer->Javascript Console before loading the game) and send it to nicoll@ifightbears.co.uk
Thanks for playing and huge apologies for the inconvenience!
Hey plasmarift, there is a key to attack downed enemies. Press W to stomp on them. I have to mirror the lack of challenge at all though, because the main character also automatically heals over time if he's not being attacked. There's zero challenge if you can just regenerate all your life by running away for a while.
Not really challenging and too slow paced. Fun for a little while bun no much. I bet that if this had a little bit more variety I'd be much better.
I gotta be honest the whole pixel art style has been done to death and is kind of a turn off for me.
I guess it's alright for everything else.
Horribly buggy. So much so it corrupted my save and I have to hard reset if I want to play again, losing all my levels and progress.
Starting the game as soon as possible bugs out the music and sound so it plays muted. Alt-tabbing back and forth creates this avalanche of sound effects happening at once. Jumping into a portal will cause irreparable savegame damage because the character does not load into the next area, and beating the enemies just keeps the game in limbo (kill game and come back, it loads into a dead black screen = corrupt save, do not pass go, have to reset all data just to play again).
Combat is repetitive and boring, and the ONLY reason I die is by the two bears in the dance club when they take turns knocking themselves over and over and I get caught up in it. It's too easy to knock the enemy down and just beat the shit out of them regardless if its a boss or not.
The ending gets caught and does not progress most of the time. For some reason the "start game too fast mutes it" will trick the game into getting past that final loading screen hangup. Go figure.
Music is awesome, graphics are just fine, mechanics are there, but it just feels woefully incomplete. I'd have a higher opinion if my saved progress were intact. It wasn't worth starting over on Hard difficulty anyway, nothing different except the enemies soak more damage.
