The minimal style didn't entice me very much at first, but I appreciated it once the enemies started stacking! I found myself wanting to be more agile and have more control sometimes. It would be really satisfying to have a melee.

The jumping in particular was very frustrating - it seems like a lot of the time your ground detection did not trigger and as a result I just couldn't jump even while mashing the up button on my keyboard. What I did like was the gameplay, hard to go wrong with an action shooter side-scroller, and I'll always upvote for fun action games. Kept me trying a few times, although it never got too hard. my high score was 3635 or something around there?
