This is one of the best retro-themed arcade games I've seen on itch.io, really love the 80's feel to it. I was surprised at first that you can't jump, but after a few attempts I got used to it and I like how the levels are designed around not being able to jump. A 2-player mode would be good, but even without it this is a really well made and fun game. Great arcade-style presentation in the title screen too!
Nice blend of Bubble Bobble, Bomberman, Bomb Jack, Hektik, Nebulus and a few others. You managed to pull of an interesting concept, without too many hick-ups. Very enjoyable. =)
So fun!! Loved the music, sfx, enemies, banana peel, and the guy in the corner. All together made a really fun game! Can't wait to see what you make next, keep up the fantastic work.
Hi Adam, I think you will need to reproduce the issue I was having with XBox 360 controller and Windows version in order to fix it. When you try and customize the joystick settings the user interface feels very broken as if you are using some kind of busy loop to wait for next input.
@ crypticHybrid - Thanks for the video. I had great fun watching someone else play it, especially your different approach. And it was almost as good as playing it myself - I shouted at the screen a few times with you :) Excellent... Thankyou

Thankyou for the kind words - it means a lot :)
Being a fan of bomb jack, bubble bobble this appealed. Very nice work!
Thankyou... :)
Welcome :)
will it work on Windows 10?
yep. fully tested for win10 :)
Is Linux support planned?
it's possible, but not currently. I know that wine supports it very well though.

Greet to hear you liked all the sound and music. I worked hard to get it all working together as all the sounds used a brand new chip-synth system.
Good work
Thanks - Glad you enjoy playing it :)
Needs full screen.
Full screen is fully supported on both platforms - just maximize the window, or draw the window to the size you want :)
Thanks. I'm happy the game is larger when I maximize, but its still a window rather than full screen.
are you on MacOS or Windows?
@ Skid - What are your suggestions for making the joystick configure and menu issues simpler? I can try and resolve all and any issues :)

Hey, I'm great to know I got you pumped watching. You've made a cool game. I made plenty of mistakes but also had a lot of fun. :)
Cool game!
I gave up trying to configure xbox controller on windows version to use DPad and A button so that was a bit frustrating.
<edit> OK managed to configure joystick second time but there is something buggy with the way you program the controls.
Also the main menu timeout could reset on input so help screen does not appear when player is using main menu.
Cool game!
super .. very good game
Retro & fun, had a good time playing and recording. :)
Thanks for that StevieG
Excellent effort !!
