In my opinion, the enemy is too fast.

"River city Ransom" rules!
The Impossible Multi-Man sent a hug.

Congratulations for the game.

is your first game jam?

Yeah, It's my first published game ;)

I like the concept, and I could see this being really good, but it just feels impossible. For the record, I got to the second screen and couldn't make it past, and I could only beat the first screen by running past the first enemy. The powers and punches just feel hard to pull off due to the delay of the power itself and the enemy's speed.

Still, overall nice idea, and I like the art.

I like the retro aesthetic!

Nice River City Random-esque game! Cool entry.

I dunno, I respect that this is your first game, but there are lots of things that just got in the way of my enjoyment.

You can't move both laterally and vertically, the special attack has a blindspot, enemies can stunlock you, it just feels unfinished.

Furthermore, the theme is barely addressed. How is this mutant unstable? Why is the title mutated city? Is everyone mutants? Why do they want to attack me? Why do I need to go to the hospital. I don't look injured.

So overall, I wish you luck on future projects.

I like the idea of understanding unstable as unstable powers, really good idea.
But it is too hard.

Good work for the first time! Keep going!

Fun but also really difficult.

Congrats on your first game! I found it really tricky to get punches in, but a cool idea nonetheless!

The mutation is a clever spin on the classic beat-em-up formula, very cool!
