This game has a real retro feel to it. Both in the setting and gameplay.

The colors are really pretty, though some elements stand out in a jarring way.

I don't really see any of the two themes in it, though.

Works smoothly. I don't see any of the themes though...

Excellent music, sound effects, and graphics. I didn't see much use of the themes, however.

Very solid game. Doesn't fit the theme as well as other entries. The sound and graphics quality are very nice.

This isn't Saturn as I remember it.

The theme is non existent, but it is a fun game.

I really don't like the art style of the game, but that's a subjective thing I guess. The mechanics of the game play prettyy well, even though it is quite difficult to get used to the controls :)

Nice game! But I guess that shooting animation didn't need that much of particles.

The game was fun, but it didn't adjust to the theme.

Super cool entry, Try choosing outlines on your environment or character, not both, because they fight for depth in the scene, which makes your beautiful art harder to read. Otherwise a really nice entry! Well done!

Rad palette, and title screen is sweet. Fun game too. I was able to fall to the side of spikes in pits and not get hit I think... was tricky to shoot diagonally. Died at the first/last? boss.

Lovely graphics, smooth game. I included it in my Ludum Dare 34 compilation video series, if you’d like to check it out :) https://youtu.be/lBXur6KZCzs
