Nicely done! It does indeed feel like a classic platformer, I'm afraid I didn't get too far though - I might have to come back and give it another shot :) I like the visuals.
Nice and fitting graphics and sound. What I don't like, however, is that on a qwertz keyboard I have to do finger acrobatics to play this game. "a" and "s" would be better choices.
The art and music are awesome, but the controls are just horribly unintuitive. I have to think all the time to do what I want. I can't get very far because of that.
Nice art and music, though the sound effects got a bit annoying. The controls are a bit unintuitive like it was told already, and that made the game very hard at points. But it's still a solid entry, good job!
It's funny the way you worked the theme into a mini game. The game itself is good. Kind of reminds me of the old ghouls and ghosts game, since you have to play over and over to memorize the enemy patterns.
Pretty hard (like 8 bit era platformers hard) but solid platformer. Too bad there's no WASD option for movement as I personally find the Arrow+ZX method to be slightly awkward (being left-handed and all).
Cool. I almost thought the alternate clicking IS the game. Nice surprise. However, I would like to give you a hint for future development.
Never use Z or Y for controls. These are on different positions on different keyboard layouts (different languages), so on my keyboard, X is some 5 keys apart from Z. Either allow player to bind keys to whatever they want, or set controls to universal keys like space, enter, shift, control etc.
Have no time for more, although did not think about vonttols. Always liked to use z and x as does not intetfere with cursors (although this is my case) but in future compos i'll fix thos. Thanks!

Have to say that controls aren't perfect, I am often pressing jump instead of fire and vice versa.
+ Art style and audio is great
Con:
- One hit kill with no checkpoints (at least I didn't find one) is a bit cruel
- Collision box are a bit weird, specially on the big guy
Obs:
o You can shoot even after death
Great work!

Well done, anyway!
Keep up the good work.
