i really enjoyed playing this nice game.

i dont know if it's made on purpose, but if you just spam the the z and x buttons while pressing up, you basically learn how to fly, that completely broke the game and make you op hahaha. nice game. <3

I love the movement mechanics. They remind me quite a bit of Mega Man X and Zero! I love chaining dashes together and especially dash jumping! Only feedback I have is that it seems like the music doesn't follow the NES limitations accurately, as there seems to be FM synthesis in the Music, something the Genesis was capable of, but not the NES (it has 2 pulse channels, a triangle channel, a noise channel and a DPCM sample channel.) Slashing enemies feels great, and thanks to the forgiving hitboxes and great movement, you can kill most weaker enemies without breaking the pace. So satisfying!

Since the description is not exactly clear, is this a NES game ROM running in an emulator or a computer game made to look like a NES game?

for some reason the game is slow and I cant even get past the leap area

I was attracted to pixel art! It was a very fun piece of work.
It's a lot of fun to play with more and more enemies, and as they get stronger and stronger, we also get stronger as we complete missions.
I found it a bit tedious to have to start from the ground again after completing a mission, but it was fun to run all the way down with upgrades such as grappling and bomb jumps to increase maneuverability.
Also, for some reason, when I entered the door to accomplish the last mission, it went dark and got stuck.
When I restarted the game, it started from the beginning, so I gave up crying, meow~!

my playthrough

Had a lot of fun playing through this, wouldn't have been able to beat the final boss without the second attack upgrade. Big fan of your other games so it was cool to see you make a non-tactics game

This was such an amazing game. I really loved the art style, music, sound effects, and the movement. Basically everything. 

I got to the mission where I had to get to floor 13 but couldn't find any water so I desperately ran to floor 17 before I died. I had to put the game down at that point lol. Very fun still and I plan on coming back to finish this!

I accidently ran off from the item guy when he was explaining what the grapple hook did so I never got to use it because I didn't know the controls. It would be nice if there was a screen showing your equipment and how to use it. There might already be that and I'm missing it. If so, my apologies!

Again, super awesome work and I'm excited to see where you take this or your other work!

EDIT: I just came back and actually finished the game this time! I didn't really go into detail the first time but I really love the movement in this game. I felt awesome dashing into a jump and then flipping into a double jump. I found it confusing to use the grappling hook but it was nice at times.

I got to the end and ran to the people towards left and the game slowed down and faded to black. I'm not sure what exactly that meant or if it was a bug or anything.

For the third time in this comment, GREAT game and I would love to see if you would think about expanding it.

This ... if this game were about exactly three times longer -- three times the biomes, missions, and three bosses ... I'd have been happy to have paid $49.99 for an NES cartridge of it back in the 80's. This is that promising.

Very nice game, I liked it. One thing that I didn't like, though: the "attack" key is Shift, and smashing this key on Windows enables "Sticky key" pop-up, which is annoying. It would be nice to change the "attack" to the other key, at least on Windows. Thanks!
