Good game, but so many tutorials.

We will be working on getting a few tweaks done to the tutorials so players can get into playing the game faster.
Thanks for playing our game. Keep an eye out for any updates and future titles!
The game is great! What are you supposed to do about rain?
Why is the tutorial so slow and unnaturally long?
Why is there no 'next' option in the tutorial (that doesn't skip the whole thing)?
Avizial responds:
Glad you are enjoying the game!
1) With the rain, it will put out the fires on the boats you light up. One trick is to use charged shots, they light the boats up faster and they won't be put out by the rain.
2) We had several players give feedback before for a tutorial. Since this game is on mobile, several children didn't understand the rules and mechanics of the game, they simply just tapped on the screen.
However, we realize that the more skilled players will find these tutorials boring and unnecessary. We will be working on a making a few tweaks to the tutorial soon.
3) Interesting. We never thought of having to just skip parts of the tutorial. Let us take that into consideration as one of the tweaks.
This was all some great feedback! Thanks for playing our game. We hope to hear from you in our future titles.
This game is badass!! Love the look, style, and feel of it. I can see it becoming very addicting. If any of the creator need music for a project, feel free to check out my profile. Otherwise, keep doing what y'all doing! Voted 5.

Glad you are enjoying the game! And a very gracious offer, we will take it under consideration!
We like "Kiss of the Spider" and "The Dreamy Dream" songs from your NG account. And off your bandcamp site, the "Wolves" song has a cool vibe to it. Diggin' the guitar solo ;) Congratulation on getting your band "Old Blood" back together. Looks like you all have a lot of catching up to do. We wish you the best of luck!
Thanks for playing our game. We hope to hear from you in future titles!

I love it! It captures feel of an old NES arcade port really well - it really feels like something that would be actually playable on the old console with Zapper. At the same time, retro stylization doesn't sacrifice anything, and it is a great and addictive experience.
On one hand, I thought that maybe the fact that you're not suposed to shoot the ghosts (even though it makes sense in hindsight) could be clearer from the gameplay - perhaps some sort of audio feedback or screen flashing telling you when you lose a life - but then again, having to discover the rules of the game by yourself with trial and error really brings out the spirit of old arcade games.

Glad to hear you loved it! :)
We had a lot of back-and-forth in regards to certain aspects of design. Whether to sacrifice some of the retro aesthetic to appeal to a more modern crowd or take a risk staying faithful to older styles of play.
We are retro at heart and it is nice to see someone appreciate older styles of gameplay and figuring out the rules.
But we are here if any players need some tips or tricks.
Thanks for playing our game! We hope to hear from you in future titles!
