I'm not sure if it's intentional, but the main character either reminds me of a cute duck or bunny lol.
My advice would be to make the controls more intuitive or have the ability to map controls because I usually jump with 'w' in wasd so it felt a bit strange. Once I got used to it, though, I really enjoyed it.
PS I see that "you aren't supposed to be here" ;) I'll do what I want!
Found a small glitch where I could continue playing even after I died, had some fun with that ;)
Good job overall.
Maybe it could be cool if the alien ships that you don't destroy had an effect on the map, like maybe destroying platforms and reducing the playable area?
The graphics are neat, the music really cool, the only black dot to me is the SFX, maybe they are too loud and not that pleasant to hear when you've been playing for a few minutes.
Good job!
Fun for a short while. The graphics are neat. The music could ramp up with the action,
it is somewhat low key at the moment.
The idea of choosing between high power shooting and more efficient melee is a good idea. It breaks down once the level is completely full of enemies of course.
Nice entry in all. Keep it up!
(Don't forget to rate more entries, you deserve to get to 20 yourself!)
It may be because in my computer the game window has behaved weird and the top half of the screen was cut(I use two screens, so that may have caused some problems)
I'm curious the number of features in this game are..."happy accidents." For example, the infinite jump seems like an accident when you have a message on top saying, "You're not supposed to see this message!" The enemies not hurting you is a little weird, especially when their falling and landing on top of your character. And sometimes holding the melee button doesn't cause rapid fire, while other times, it does. Of course, being able to kill more enemies while dead is clearly a bug. I guess I'm easily peeved by bugs.
