This game was super fun. i still haven't beaten it but it has the perfect mix of challenging but fair. the boss fight was amazing and so was the music in general, and the way it switched from the normal theme to the boss theme. A settings menu where you can change the music or sfx volume would be nice, or making the music lower when the game is paused. overall, awesome game.
I just did a second playthrough and holy shit there was new enemies and another theme, that's so cool.
very fanstastic game
The game is very good and well-developed for your first game...
Keep up the spirit and solidity of your team, I'm waiting for the next game hehe XD
