Dodge. I liked this...
I liked this a lot, seeing how much I am a retro gaming nerd it would only make sense.
The effects were nice, really made some great eye candy. It wasn't too much for it to be uncomfortable to watch, but it wasn't too little to make the game seem dull. I really liked that.
Even though I liked the fast movement and the dodging (obviously) I didn't think the levels moved fast enough to keep up with how hectic the game was, perhaps you should have made more enemies come in quicker in earlier levels. I would have also liked to have seen the ability to customise your dodger.
Hell, even so, it was a freaking great game. Keep it up.
