Also very cute pixel art and music! And Cacodemon!
Final note: as an italian, I too cannot wait for our complete dominion over Earth.
I didn't really feel like I was delivering anything, more just felt like a NES platformer but it was pretty fun! I liked the number of different enemies and the different environments (indoor and outdoor). The art was functional and the audio was actually quite well done. The story at the start was also pretty funny.
The switching gravity is a cool idea but most of the time it felt pointless since I could go so high and far with double jump anyways. I would have just kept it to a single jump.
It never felt like there was a reason to attack enemies because they had way too much health. Was easier to just run past them.
Overall, great submission!
Unfortunately I really dislike the keyboard controls for this game. I don't have a controller, so I was forced to use my keyboard. Not only were the kebinds placed completely illogically, they were also difficult to use. They were far too close together, and I say that as a person with abnormally small hands.
Edit: I forgot to mention, I love the audio of this game so much. Lovely music, lovely sounds!
