simple and easy but it would be cool if it had more backgrounds and different enemies from each other instead of changing only the color
good job!!1

I like some aspects of this- the cheesy 70s action movie presentation was pretty good (at least, that's how I saw it), and controller support is always appreciated. Big problem for me was jumping as it seems down to chance rather than skill whether you land on the ground, or on a currently offscreen baddie or hole. Reloading was a bit tricky too- quicky mashing the d-pad seems to work best for me.

Interesting concept, but I have a lot of feedback. I would recommend putting the control instructions somewhere in the game itself. The reload mechanic also makes shooting very unideal as an option, so the preference is definitely toward sliding or jumping to just avoid enemies, especially since the bullet is kinda slow compared to how quickly you run.

I think it's got a lot of potential, the gameplay could be very addicting, just a few timing kinks to work out ^^

Thanks for the feedback
I agree with the controls, so I might just add another panel in the menu
As for the reload mechanic, quite unfortunate that it didn't work out. I would like to ask though, how you used it? Cause it's possible that I didn't bring across well enough how to utilize it with just the gameplay itself.
