the title screen had me really interested; the colors and choice of stylization really stuck out as being professional.
it would help the pacing a lot of the player was able to accelerate the text, it gets to be tedious at a certain point.
shift acting as the jump button, while space is dash, is strange to me, and i'm sure others would feel the same way, as most games are configured the other way around. the jumping-and-shooting feels very fluid and megaman-like, (as does the player sprite :Y)
your mechanics feel very solid, but i would reconsidering your button configuration for keyboard users, it really threw off my experience. and i would recommend perhaps making it so that a-s-d-f can be used to fire in different directions regardless of the direction the player is facing?
In lieu of some long winded response, I'll simply say we fixed the control issue.
Thank you very much for the helpful criticism, kind words and for taking the time to play in general. I hope you'll give future iterations a try as we have many things yet to be implimented.
