The title screen and graphics are really fun, and it definitely felt like playing on an old cabinet or something.\n\nThe actual game, though, I didn't get a lot out of. It's pretty basic gameplay, and the one unique mechanic (the lures) is cool and helps with crowd control, but doesn't amount to all that much. The movement is also a bit clunky, slowing you down whenever you shoot or land from a jump. I was glad for the controller support because D-pad really fit the retro vibe, but it was awkward to have to manually redo all the binds to make that work.\n\nI love the aesthetic though!

If you want to jump over an enemy, that's bad. You just jump upwards and the enemy hits you. If this feature was implemented, I couldn't activate it. I lost several times because of that.
