Oooh, I like the movement of Liz! She is very realistic! WELL DONE with the graphics and mechanics of the main character's movement. I am using A and D with J to shoot and spacebar to jump. I also found that by holding down the J key for a bit, then releasing it gives an extra boost hit. I am having trouble with all these different keyboard controls. That speaks to my own personal dexterity as I totally prefer arrow keys for movement. Also, in some areas, the ability to crouch would be helpful. All in all, a great prototype platformer with well above average avatar appeal. Well done!

This Game is in Early Stages of Development and is a prototype, use Keyboard controls: A & D to move, space to jump and J to Shoot. Xbox Controller: Dpad to move left and right, A to jump and X to shoot. right now there is one basic level with a "Boss". This game will be updated frequently what is seen now is not going to be the final product.
**Please use the controls listed for this game (other inputs may not work correctly yet), if your using a different controller than Xbox use at your own risk!**
I also wanted to thank everyone who has left a review, good or bad you help me to improve this game and your suggestions are taken into consideration for future updates. I'm just one person and I do this in my spare time.
**New update coming soon**
No matter what I did, I couldn't turn left. Shooting direction was stuck right, and even while stationary the character was stuck with its running animation.
Like the character art, there's an issue with arrow keys in which a direction will stick, a/d work though, perhaps make them part of the same function in the movement handling part of your code. Like the music. Not sure why this is M rated though.
You have a solid foundation here, the main thing you need in order to improve, is practice.
And maybe a gimmick to spice things up a bit. Like a healing ability that depletes your battery and prevents it from charging for a bit, locking you out of power attacks for a few seconds.
Keep at it Friend.
Not too bad, but I cannot turn left.... So after a few jump, it's game over.
