Looks interesting. The guy seems a bit on the smallish side compared to the enemies, but I'll check it out tonight when I can

The levels are too confusing, you didn't tell the player what they had to do, and the music is annoying as hell.

Even though the game was fun running around in, overall it wasn't good.

I didnt like the unskippable intro, does the main game use default 8 direction movement!?

(juddery around obstacles)

I pressed F or G and the game crashed.

I might try playing again later -

Not bad, but could use some improvements:

1. Make the character face in the direction that he's aiming, not in the direction that he's walking. It looks a little strange to be shooting backwards.

2. Since the levels are so big, make it so that when you die, you start on the same screen. Otherwise, what's the point of having extra lives? It's just the same as loading a saved game. Either that, or get rid of the lives.

3. With the heads up display right at the edge of the screen it's sometimes hard to tell if there's an exit. You should move the trees and stuff at the edge so that you can see if there's an exit more easily. Or you could move the hud off of the playing field.

The game is ok, but I almost turned the game off halfway through the horribly slow intro. You should really let people skip it, or at least speed it up.

You can skip it, just select Load Game instead and load an empty file

DOn't overreact on installers. And installers don't make games crash, mind you! They just make it more annoying when a game won't work!

LetoZeth:

There are LOTS of games made here that I have praised extremely highly. If a game is made badly - as this is, then the creator needs to know what is wrong with it.

Games I have LOVED that were put on this site:

"mysterious flying something"
"Treasure Tower"
"Noitu Love and the Army of Grinning Darns"
"Lyle in Cube Sector"
"Within a Deep Forest"

To name just a few there.

Thanks guys for all the feedback. Especially 'deadeye' for a informative critique.
I fixed the 'g' crash and the intro can now be skiped.

I'm moving on to different projects but might consider coming back this game in the future..
