Damn this game gave me some old nes vibes :D very cool graphics and design. Feels very polished.
I also think the idea is pretty cool. The only downsides are the controls. on my keyboard (laptop) the keys for passing and shooting are to close to movement keys so it get really tricky. Controller support would be great after the jam (I think keyboard is a requirement for the jam so sadly that was not a option).
Also the KI seams to have some issus sometimes. But it is a jam title, nothing what could not fix afterwards.
Great work !
