80's tastic. A truly time transporting game.

Really cool game. I really dig the music!!
I really want to like this game, and there is a lot I do like about it, but after a while I can't say it's really all that enjoyable, which is a shame given how many cool and interesting ideas it has, as well as how polished it looks.
It's hard to figure out what my issue is, but my best guess would be how all over the place it is. One minute it's a quick reflex run and gun, then I'm in some underground room that has no threat whatsoever where I platform for money I don't need, then there's a bit where I have to go slow or I'll die to a rolling barrel I can't see among the explosion effects.
There's so many elements I can't take it all in, so I'm left walking down the flat levels hoping not to die.
I think the main problem is every and all ideas seem to have been thrown in regardless of weather they're relevant. The gun tossing is cool and in another game could work really well, but having to pause the run and gun action to toss my guns, jump up, get some money then come back is frankly tedious. I suppose gun tossing could work in a fast setting if there was a constant sense of danger, and as I feel some threat starting to overwhelm me I'm forced to make a tough decision between toss or live. Whilst there was one bit like that when a spike saw was chasing me (though i'm not even sure now guns slow you down and I was able to get it back quickly so I'm guessing this was unintentional), for the most part there's nothing of the sort. Tossing the guns isn't so much a choice so much as a tedious requirement, and there's nothing consistent long enough that such a situation arises.
Getting hit once and restarting the level, I had to call quits on level 3.
I'm glad I played this game for all it does interesting. It's not a bad game, but it feels like teasing me with a great game. There's no design here, it feels like it was all just thrown together.
pretty good game sadly after 2021 flash will be shutdown so enjoy as much as you can

It's webGL, so we're good :)
Very nice game but a few Checkpoints would be nice.
