a decent Mega Man clone

Ryan Silberman is one of the most neutral NG or hell even game creators I have seen, he has talent but the execution isn't always the best and this game really shows that.

Lore doesn't matter much here since this is short but I like Missileman and this story is cool.

Presentation-wise the game looks ok. I like the character sprites as simple as they are the other foreground sprites look fine as well the background and the parts with the ship look lazy though and don't fit aesthetically (being wonky for the former and have inconsistent pixel sizing for the latter). The music and SFX are generic but work for what we have here.

Gameplay is ok in this game as MissileMan controls really well and his mechanics work nicely. The problem is the other gimmicks. They are underdeveloped and really need more fleshing out. There is very little effort in teaching the player the mechanics so it's confusing at first especially the snow one. The Bubbles work well and are the best mechanics here but the hitboxes are a bit too precise as they tend to not work when bouncing off the side. The snow is a mechanic I missed at first and I thought you just took damage to get past, not helped by how much they blend in sometimes. The boomerang robots work well but there needs to be a better indication you can't damage them something like a different SFX or the bullets reflecting. The game is mostly glitchless outside of the first ship section having a platform you can stand on that you shouldn't. The biggest problem I have though is the length and how you have to start all over when you die. Making each section a short level or checkpoints would work better and make the game way less brutal.

Overall this game is a cute little adventure that has passion put in but lacks in areas like the rest of Ryan's freeware. It's worth a shot if you are tolerant of some middling choices but I wouldn't blame you if you rate it 0-2.5 stars. But hey it's at least better than Ryan's overpriced underdeveloped paid games lol (Those are only worth it if you like Ryan as a person and like his takes).

Enjoyable game. Good level design with a lot of things to do and some nice bits of humour- the animation of Dr Otto being shaken made me laugh especially!

I really liked this game. I know I suck at platformers in general, so most of my issues were dealt with by simply gitting gud, else I wouldn't get any far into the game.
The characters are simple but charming, the graphics/art were neatly put together, the music didn't get annoying, and finally, the fast respawning and no life mechanics were great.

That said, I'm not sure how well optimized the game has been, for the 'second' level (the one with the red, blue and white squares with phasing rotation platforms) suddenly got REALLY slow and the framerate dropped a bunch, and I found myself getting easily stuck between the phasing platforms by the time more white became prominent and I just found out they were 'shootable'.
Couldn't Missileman really just... shoot up? I'd easily not bother with these found glitches if he could just do that. Pretty sure you're referencing Mega Man, but keep those in mind.
