Since I was asked for an opinion.... I think the voice acting is pretty solid. Art style and animation is pretty good that said and there's some funny bits here and there.

Personally felt more like slice of life but the fishing gag at the end with the little bit of slapstick made up for it in a good way.

A kitten asking for BEES as a curse? This sounds like a job for DOCTOR BEEEEEEEEES!!!!!

Okay but why is no one talking about the subliminal titties at the end of the video?

Okay so thankfully, I was able to get my up key working! That does help somewhat with my impression of the review upon playing a second time. So.... there is a lot that I like and some things that I felt needed some polish.

One of the biggest strengths going for this right now is that you have the Johnen Vazquez art style going for it which, I realize that may have not been the intent but that's the vibe I'm getting from it. I actually think can really suit the game play going on here! That's a huge plus in of itself and I think that there's a lot I can appreciate from the artist on this one!

Gameplay wise I feel that things could be smoothed out. I like the idea behind the game design where you're using the rain to either attack or jump, it does give a sense of timing that needs to be utilized. The game feels a little janky at times to control the character, but when you learn how to combine some of the attacks like using the double jump with 'W' to a dash using the 'down arrow' it does actually help you navigate a bit quicker than normally running. I do wish that there was some customizable controls in the case that one is using a PS5 controller which... I think this game was developed with a keyboard or Xbox controller in mind.

Sound design is good, though I feel there could have been more done to better suit the atmosphere of the level. But then again maybe I'm just nitpicking on that to a certain degree. I do like the theme of it overall.

There's a lot of promise here but the game does feel that it's calling for more polish. Would love to go back to this one and see if I can beat the first boss with what I've been able to do so far.

Its been a wild ride, hbd Tom.

Okay so after playing this for a bit, I do think that this is a game worthy of being on the portal. Physics wise, this is actually pretty solid and I like the fact that you're going for NES level difficulty. Yes, there are difficult sections but for the most part, they aren't totally unfair.

The one part I'm struggling to get past is the section inside the building were I have to wall jump on a moving platform to get to a heart. While that is an interesting challenge that could reward the player I feel like something like that should be optional for those who are willing to take on that challenge as opposed to being forced to do it to move on. Otherwise it kind of feels unfair for those who haven't fully mastered the wall jumping mechanic at that point.

BUT OVERALL, I like the direction this game is going. The pixel art is a plus, but it would be nice if it had a true 8-bit aesthetic given the kind of graphics you're working with.

Gotta say I really dig how these beats go in the track. Awesome job!

Okay this slaps

Yes

God I just love this art style

I might not get it but I can't deny it's meme magic.

Okay this is genuinely badass
