There was a bug in your game. After I completed first area. In the second area when I jump the girl fly up untill push into something and not fall back and the screen go up kept killing me. It kept that way untill I refresh the page....
Reviews for "Sole Gunner"
This game is simply amazing!
I love the Genesis era graphics and music, as well as the Contra vibe.
My only grip is that there aren't more levels and guns!
Oh well, perhaps there will be a sequel?!!
Keep up the great work!
Beat the game before giving my 5 cents. As a whole, it's an average game, if compaired too consoles. The controls are a little stale, but workable. The difficulty is good, altho an options for continue/difficulty be nice (ex: easy mode 200 HP 5lives a level, medium 100HP 3 lives a level, Hard 50 hp 1 life, just for an example)
While being able too aim in four directions is good, certain enemies almost require a diagonal shoot function, those bomber birds specifically. While it's not 'required' it would be useful (but it's a step above megaman so props there)
Graphics are pretty good, and THANK YOU for not resorting too a heroine with lots of cleavage, got enough of those, otherwise it was pretty good, as stated had a 'gunstar hero' feel too it, even the sound effects are from the game from time too time. Power ups are all there, flame, rocket, machine, spread, health, but try having it random for enemies instead of fixed placement (altho the fixed placement before the final boss was a nice touch)
Music was classic 8-bit, not bad, but not really memorable. I got down too the pace of it, but as soon as the song ended, I forgot it, kinda like a radio song.
For this too be a stand alone game, I would like too see maybe a 5th, possibly 6th stage, altho having 2-4 mid bosses for each level was fun, made the levels feel long, but not 'too' long. My only complints indeed would be this: fine tune the controls as jumping is slippery, music is ok, but can be improved, and add gameplay options, and if this does become a stand alone game, a second player would be great. If I could spare some cash (as it is X-mas) I would, maybe Ill get a larger paycheck, maybe not, but you definitely have my thumbs up for a well made game.
I think you should work on the controls a little...
Cool game. The only thing that bothers me about the game are the controls
