I liked the graphics and how everything can be used as a platform to jump on! Otherwise it's a bit hard as the enemies all jump like crazy and the boss seems to kill me in one shot, but it has this Metal Slug feel that's quite cool.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Tiny advice: shooting lacks feedback, especially when you're in the middle of 100 soldiers. A flash at the tip of your gun\/louder gun sound effects\/an reaction when enemies are getting hit would make the game much more satisfying to play."},{"author_name":"Spierek","author_uid":"14319","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 12:32pm","epoch":1355833620,"text":"Good job with the music and enemy AI, too bad the game is so short (and kinda buggy)."},{"author_name":"Cthu","author_uid":"18793","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 1:06pm","epoch":1355835660,"text":"Love the title and music, kudos on a pretty solid gameplay too!"},{"author_name":"MaTX","author_uid":"8087","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 4:18pm","epoch":1355847180,"text":"Cool frenetic action.

For the amount of bullets that the enemies can soak up, the spawn rate is way too high. The boss is really punishing with the 1-hit-you-die mechanic, especially after dealing with the small guys that you can pretty much tank forever. Also, you can jump behind the boss and not get shot at...\r<br\/>\r<br\/>However, if the little guys were somewhat easier to kill, and also a bit more dangerous, it would have more of a Contra feel. This game has great pacing and has some good potential."},{"author_name":"DaviDeMo","author_uid":"8548","time":"Dec 21, 2012 @ 8:15pm","epoch":1356120600,"text":"very fast gameplay, I liked it"},{"author_name":"NiceAlexanderAS","author_uid":"7045","time":"Dec 23, 2012 @ 2:33pm","epoch":1356272880,"text":"Very hard but fun! :D nice work! i also like the jump-roll of the goat :D"},{"author_name":"Jiddo","author_uid":"11351","time":"Dec 24, 2012 @ 12:35am","epoch":1356309000,"text":"It's a really nice entry, but I think that moving and jumping is way too fast. It also seems to be MUCH easier to beat if you just keep on mindlessly jumping up and down while shooting. That'll make the AI do the same (and in fact jump into your bullets a lot), and they won't actually shoot and\/or hit as much. That is kind of a boring way to play, but unfortunately it works.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>The graphics are good and I really liked the intro\/splash screen. Music is cool and the sound effects are decent. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>Controls are good, but as mentioned movement and jumping feels way too fast. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I'm not sure what's up with the boss thing at the end. I just got to it and insta-won. Maybe my bullets had been hitting him for a long time before I could see him on screen?\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Oh well, great work!"},{"author_name":"xandrew","author_uid":"8080","time":"Dec 26, 2012 @ 10:12pm","epoch":1356559620,"text":"That was fantastic!
