First time saw nothing and only could hear me die. After that visuals worked.
In fight I could only shoot to the left.
When the character turned to the right the bullets would still fly to the left.

Despite that, very good graphics and sound. If it would work properly it would be a pretty damn good game I imagine

Pretty good fun.. mechanic was a bit similar than previous game I just tried, but nevertheless.. good action, nice effects and graphics. :)

There's no reason for your bullets to be yellow pixels. It's a videogame, make them as huge and powerful as you reasonably can! Yellow pixels are just kind of disappointing.

You can't go wrong with evil exploding cyborg... dinosaur people..? Good idea conceptually, but the gameplay is just a matter of holding one mouse button then the other. I'd be alright with that if my bullets were huge and it seemed like the very earth were trembling when I shot, but my weapons seemed relatively impotent.

Great background and effects, though. I do like the screen drunkenly wobbling around and zooming in and out. I don't know why it does, but I', glad it does.

Nice entry, especially for a first! Managed to make it quite frantic with direction changing at times during combat.

The game is working well and it's very easy to beat. There are no other actions except shooting to the left or right. It is sad for me. The game is good but it needs to have more actions for player or enemies.

my eyes! The wobbling and rapid color changes are perhaps just a tad much :) but it works for some I guess.

Well done, the game played well and I thought the graphics and animation where great. Could of been more challenging though.

Good graphics and mood, excellent retro-style music. I like how you implemented the two buttons theme, and there's some good humour. On the downside, having the game jump from side-scroller to set-piece fights feels a bit disjointed.

The text has some grammar and spelling errors. Might need beta-reading.

It's pretty hard, but not unfairly so. I might come back to see if I can beat it later.

Yeah, just left and right shooting and not a lot of strategy so I kept dying about half way through Gatling Gun and didn't see what else to do.
