Very well made NES throwback with quite unique mechanics !
I really enjoyed playing this, the weapon selection is rad ! and i like the spritework. Also nice touch on some of the small details like the health bars for the team moving away when you’re close to the top or the bottom of the screen.
The main issue i’d say is the vertical movement, since you can’t dash in that direction you’re stuck with the very slow base walkspeed. But other than that i didn’t have any real issue with the game.
Now i didn’t check which themes you used before playing so i really genuinely didn’t see the twist coming ! I won’t spoil it for anyone who hasn’t played it yet, but it was quite a nice surprise i really didn’t expect that :p
Overall cool game, good job :)
