Great!
it reminds me of Gunstar Heroes and Gunvolt, controls are responsive and everything is perfect.

because it is the highest rated LD game on NG I had to try it :D Wil go vote on the ldjam page now.
This is an absolutely amazing piece of work to put together in under 72 hours, and that's reason enough to give you top marks. However, as an actual stand alone product this needs WEEKS of additional work to be something I'd actually want to play for more than a minute and a half.
I started to play the game I instantly had 5 stars on my mind. I have a soft spot for these shooting-platforming hard motherfuckers, and this is a fine example of such a game. But controls need some work as they do not respond well at certain spots where you need them. But that is minor stuff. The big issue is the weapon downgrading after I die. That made the level where the lava rises and decends nearly impossible to pass with all the enemies you have to beat, and beeing pressed for time. There is a fine line between difficult and unfair and this game crossed it at the mentioned point. I apsolutely loved it up to that.
I pressed that Follow button though, since I am very interested to see what you can do given the time. All in all, very good work. Cheers!

It's extremely common to lose your current weapon when you die. If you also read the description you can toggle the power mode of your gun to high or low.
Alright game but needs some touches. No has said this yet but during at least the first boss battle if i'm doing damage to the boss try and include flashing lights on the boss like in sonic and other games. I got confused and thought I was doing no damage. And maybe label the boss hp.
