Those boss attacks are quite tricky to avoid
Good job, that was fun. Loved the music
The fisheye effect on the TV is well done!
Very pleasant game. A nice and unique play on the Donkey Kong formula. I have nothing constructive to say, though at the end I yearned for more levels.
I’m terrible at games like this, so beating the boss was really tough - but also super satisfying!
The retro vibe is awesome - music and visuals work perfectly together.
Fantastic game!
Bonus points for the music - great job there. I couldn't make it past the first level, too old and slow for anything that requires skill or reaction time :smile:

Thanks for playing and thanks for the feedback!
