Great game! Gameplay is fun and unique. It was satisfying to get a good shot in. The graphics were fantastic, especially what I'm assuming is the shader work! (Please share any details on how you did that shader!). Sound FX accompanied the action excellently. My own complaint would be the control scheme for the keyboard. Switching jump to up arrow would free up the left hand to focus on the shoot/throw. It felt a little piano-y with the left hand controlling three critical functions that needed to be executed together frequently. Great work!

Factory ExitA very underrated game, i love the gameplay! But its hard to shoot with left shift, i'd recommend remapping the buttons. Great job !

Go for GoldWow, holy crap. There's a lot of game here, and it's all very good game at that! The gameplay loop is quite compelling and well-made, with lots of QoL such as hit feedback. The graphics are actually stunning. It isn't every day that I see such a strong artistic vision conveyed (roughly, technically) within the limitations of the GB, with what seems like no compromise and full intentionality. Awesome game, big ups.

Fortune of VaultersThe character designs in this game are incredible. Every sprite feels alive and full of charm and it gives the whole world a strong identity. (pls play my game)

Pirate PyriteWow, I really enjoyed this game! Super fun gameplay, good enemy variety, and a nice lighting mechanic. I do think this is an idea that could work great in a bigger game too.
