Yeah I like the overall movement and combat. Would be nice to duck and fire but probably unnecessary. Just feels like a missing element, but not essential to the gameplay. Jetpack momentum feels great. Characters look good. Great start!
Thanks very much for the feedback, and checking out the demo! I did tool around with crouching as I agree it feels like you should be able to. There's a plugin that can change the collision box of the characters sprite sheet to pull it off, but I decided to pass as plugins can sometimes cause issues when new updates come for gb studio.
I'm already pushing the DMG to the limit on object and projectiles as is so the crouch shoot may force me to simplify things even more.
At the end I chose animations and blood spatter over the ability to crouch shoot

You should make the ROM file available to download if you can so people can test play on original hardware.
I like the game feel. The jet pack jump is unique and fun. Nice work!
Thanks a lot, I am going to put the demo rom up on my page once I finish it. Will be up before the new year sir.
This is off to a great start! Music, art, atmosphere all fit well. Gameplay is intuitive and controls feel good.
Thanks very much. Keep checking in as I'm updating the demo regularly while I finish it!
