I like how you added some clever ways to use the power ups.\n\nThere's some things that need some tweaking! First of all, the noises. There are some very loud noises, specially the one where they hit you, it's very annoying! I mean, I like the sound, but it's very out of place in comparison with the others. I really like how everything sounded on the tutorial.\n\nSecond, the background, maybe the parallax was a little too fast, it made me kinda dizzy after a while.\n\nLastly, hitboxes. Maybe they should be a little bigger. Hitting things is a bit frustrating as it is. It's very easy to get hit back, and having to hit them on the back is very frustrating, because the enemies turn back to you, and they take many hits until killed. The cat is also very hard to hit from behind.\n\nHope you find the feedback useful! It was a fun entry!
