Wow, that final boss is hard... made kind of annoying by having to replay up to him every try. So I think it'd be cool if you could give us the option to skip to that point after we've bought out the store and/or completed all the missions [with 2-5 mana charges]. Because at that point, money is moot and you've proven to the game that you can get to the final boss. This makes it get pretty tedious. Nevertheless, pretty much everything else about this game is quite good (gameplay, visuals, etc.)!

Solid game, there was just one thing that bugged me--during the final boss fight, the ground disappears and makes it look like you can now move closer to the bottom part of the screen, but you still can't. I lost many a life trying to dodge bullets by juking below them only to realize I couldn't move down any more. Would be nice if the visuals were changed to match the gameplay.

Okay Upgrade-Shooter. A bit tedious due to always having to start from the first boss again + speed being an underdog stat that just isn't that important except for getting through the level faster. Missions seem thought through very nicely, though I'd take out the reoccurring "don^t shoot shit" stuff. It^s fine once, not 4 times.

Great, Just stunned the first boss. Leftover Geometry Squares Hit me in the face and i die When the boss is stunned all of the bullets should just dissipear.

One problem - pressing up when on the ground you immediately start flying as apposed to an actual jump... I feel like the first hit of up should be a jump

Lost quite a bit of interest when quick time events popped up. Game has been done too many times to put up with that.

Once I've unlocked the Tentanomicon, that's literally the only thing I wanna get whenever I see the book icon appear during the run.

great game!
Still has some cons, thus 4/5:
- the hitbox of the flying things in the second level is too high and too small. "Small" might be on purpose, but sometimes you can shoot right through the belly without hitting it!
- no chance to jump when you still have fuel, but just want to save it for later?
- pretty much unneccessary gore imho, but that semms to be what everybody wants since "binding of isaac" aired :-S.

I really felt like there should be about 4-5 more levels to this, but it was still one of the better efforts in this genre on Kong. Excellent art, satisfying gameplay, funny story, and baby Cthulhu = 5/5, despite the fact that I beat it with relative ease. Add to the replayability of it and you'll have a real hit on your hands.

My only problem with this game and the reason I gave it a 4/5 is the same issue I have with all the other games in this "genre" I guess.
The achievement/mission system is flawed. In absolutely no instance I should kill myself after a couple objectives instead always trying to run my best run. Let's say I'm lucky or skilled and killed the first mini-boss fast, but wait, "you didn't do the 100 meters no-shooting mission, so you can't have it!". And then you go and run 300 meters without shooting anything, get it, kill the boss, and the next mission is doing 200 meters without shooting. Why do I need to prove myself again? I just did 300. Why do I need to do less now? Why do I have to keep killing myself to update my objectives? Why completely disregard my best runs? The money and boss achievements go hand in hand. A bunch of the running achievements can be done at once. It only adds cheap replayability and frustration.

Full heal on bosses if you don't do a non-working combo in time? In a game where there's already a massive grind? What a piece of shit. You should be ashamed of this garbage. 1/5.

This is such a satisfying game to play, I love it!
It's slightly short in an extremely good way. I can feel progress being made and it motivates me to play through all of it.

Fun sidescrolling etc, love the theme aswell :D
Maxing drain works and richapocalypse really helps getting all those upgrades you still need. and remember:

Was a decently fun game, but it gets hard to see projecticles in the stretch before the last boss. I also lost once on the final boss after killing him because the floaty rocks shot me during the coin drop (nevermind they also made it very hard to see the arrows to finish him xD)
