I think the ground pound is now? Forgot last time I played.

But I licked that the balls could even be kicked against enemies.

Also thought new texts that haven't adapted to the actual font of the game and something about a shotgun blast?

I did the mistake of customizing controls before actually relearning them, so I made it harder to me than it needed to.

So the red lizard boss ate me and the game softlocked there.

some of the most insanely good pixel art i have seen on itch to be honest

• the drill dive and the butt stomp both feel great
• movement feels responsive and smooth. I think platforming would feel a little bit better with a bit of coyote time (unless its there and just really subtle)
• the gun feels kind of piddly and weak to me. i get that it is supposed to set the enemy up to get stunned by a melee hit, which i think is a fun mechanic, but the feedback on shooting an enemy is a bit weak and unsatisfying so i found myself thinking "hurry up and get electrocuted so i can do the fun part"
• bouncing across the gaps and doing pogos with the butt stomp is fun
• the shooter enemies placed high up take so many shots to kill with your weak gun that i felt like i was doing something wrong (maybe i was missing how to get up to them)
• i really like the idea of cancelling melee attacks into combo moves for meter, that was fun. they were kind of hard to hit though, especially after a butt stomp
• i couldnt figure out a consistent way to deal with multiple melee enemies chasing you and stacking up on you, the butt stomp will get hit out of the air and the drill seems to stop after you hit one enemy, maybe it would be fun if the drill attack pierced through enemies
• the shotgun felt good to use, probably my favorite attack
• the boss was fun to dodge, pretty hard. he ended up killing me and i just sat there dead on the floor unable to revive, i may have run out of lives

overall it was fun and felt good, i feel like it could use a little more juice and feedback. the combat didnt really "click" for me and i didnt feel like i understood how to effectively deal with multiple enemies at once. the spritework, menus, music, and sound effects are all extremely impressive. keep up the good work! 

Fun game, the controls have a bit of a learning curve to them. 

I think I missed 80% of the time I tried to hit something with the special attack button. 

When I got vore'd by the crocodile he wouldn't spit me out and nothing happened. I had to pause and select restart each time. He just sat there with that dumb smug look on his face, the bastard.

I used the swapper to find a secret room, so that was cool. Not very useful in battle.

i assume i need to shoot the enemy until they're blue and then i can swap; pretty solid, but then there's no need to have a cooldown of 5seconds or so.

 
swapping with enemies that are perched high up seems to be the only utility this mechanic has. other enemies just walk towards you so there's no benefit in swapping with them even if the swapping worked with them. also can't swap with the boss, but then why would i want to.

I played it, this is what I found:

• The controls section in the pause menu doesn't close if you press start and the player has to click the arrow 2 times to leave the menu.
• Falling from a particular ledge has a faster fall speed than usual (pictured below).
• The area behind the generator in this same area causes Paloo to hover until you slide left or right.
• The swapper works on bats without having to stun them which makes the in-game text seem inconsistent for this.
• The swapper works on the blue enemy when they emit sparks but the other enemies have to be in a recoil animation which creates inconsistent rulings.
• The aerial special move can't be done while firing which does not match the other melee moves.
