A pretty fun game, I tend to like extended boss battles. The one hit deaths and lack of healthbars are a bit annoying, but I'm guessing that you were trying to emulate the classic Nintendo games which are known for that sort difficulty.

Thanks for the comment brou !!!
It was a gift to my coworkers...and a good way to stress them was the one hit death and no health bars.
Cool
So this was an easy to understand right from the start and as an action shooter it was pretty fun you have some nice features in the game and it does keep you interested, with a style all on its own it is fun and unique and thats what kept me enjoying it

I guess I'm not patient enough to beat your (alleged) boss. Maybe it's even better, since the last stage I reached was the half-naked guy shooting his synth grenade launcher.
Just to be serious for a moment, after reading the author description I expected this game to be a cheap joke, and yet it proved to be a well done shooter. It would be so nice if it were expanded into a full game with levels, power-ups, sub-bosses, and so on.
As a response to a comment below: no, it DOES NOT need a health meter. Back in the 90s we didn't need a health meter, kid.

To say the truth, this game did start as a joke and of course it would be awesome to do a full game. I just did it to make fun of my office partners while I was learning to use Stencyl. Cool that you liked it!
As a joke game it comes across at 3.5/-4 out of 5.
As an actual game it's more along the lines of a 3, you get 1 life. Even most 90's games didn't get you that hard of a time and those that did also let you build up some before that one. Here you are facing something with what seems like basics vs a ohko, got to stage 2 and got bored since all it takes it 1 hit and oh look back to 0. Really inspires me to keep playing.
The few saving graces came from the music and the jokes beyond that..it's eh.

Yeah, that’s true. I made the game difficult on purpose so my office friends could suffer!! I thought on bringing down the difficulty before I submit it here, but then mysteriously I heard Ziggy Marley’s song "True To Yourself" in my head and just decided to leave it as is.
I dont usually enjoy the kind of game where you hardly enjoy anyting, but i think the stories were very fun, probably understanding spanish makes it better...
