This is really fun! The on;y complaint I really have is that the ground doesn't go well with the resto of the game graphics other than that, very well done!

I think there's a decent core of a game here: movement feels pretty good (sometimes the jump can act a little funky), graphics are bright and explosive, and the shooting is nice. I feel like it just needs some extra touches to make it really stand out as it feels really dead and dull to me after just a few levels. While there is a nice variety of enemies in the end, the levels are very samey and don't change, the soundscape is very empty leading to a hollow feeling, and there is no significant story or progression in place to drive you forward. With those in place, I feel like this could be really great.

the jumping is kind of catchy but the whole blurry glare makes it worthwhile, also the machine guns kicks ass

I, too, enjoyed the 2D Metroid games.

fun game. simple controls. easy to lose track of time playing this!
