One of them most polished games I'v played so far. Loved the art and the paralax scrolling. The story and art changes made me play the simple mechanic to the end.

Moving up and down was painfully slow in some places, and it was a little annoying to have to stop whenever you attack. It might make the game easier, but I think in this kind of game the main joy is in the destruction you can cause."},{"author_name":"Wevel","author_uid":"37277","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 1:55pm","epoch":1440510600,"text":"Really fun game, good job"},{"author_name":"HiVE interactive","author_uid":"56928","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 2:30pm","epoch":1440512700,"text":"So funny, good work!"},{"author_name":"s_jmp","author_uid":"32727","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:47pm","epoch":1440517320,"text":"I liked the pixel art :D"},{"author_name":"Rongefilet","author_uid":"25563","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 5:59pm","epoch":1440525240,"text":"Very fun, very cute, awesome voice acting. >_<"},{"author_name":"Louspirit","author_uid":"55260","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 6:00pm","epoch":1440525300,"text":""Ooooh, I'm gonna die!" made my game.
