Fun game. It felt like a poor man's Risk of Rain. Great first entry! :)

This is a cool little game. Not too much to it but everything that's there felt and looked good. Well done!

Smooth controls, and I liked the ability to double jump. I didn't realize I could do that at first, but it makes the game a lot more playable.

Bullets barely do any damage, and while it's fine at first, once enemies start piling up, they seem entirely ineffective since enemies respawn much faster than they can be killed. After the first couple enemies have spawned, bombs become the only relevant game mechanic.

Nice first entry!

Cool little game. Digging the graphics, the enemy animations especially.

Funny game (sun)
You could try to add another map (non linear !) and other monsters with different speed/ health / etc... And boxes with random weapons haha ;D
