+ I found the graphics to be charming and retro feeling. It reminded me of when I took a computer science class to learn how to code in highscool, and were told to make our backgrounds and sprites in MS paint.
+ the gameplay is surprisingly pretty solid and makes for a pretty good side scrolling shooter
+ Each stage seems to have unique environments with different mechanics and bosses.
- The game is overly difficult to a fault. You die extremely easily, and sometimes it's impossible to avoid damage. When you are on foot you attack with a briefcase that has an extremely tiny hit-box so enemies are easily able to hit you even if you are spamming the attack button.
- No checkpoints, if you die you have to reset to the beginning of the stage which is beyond annoying. Mixed with how easy it is to die, most people likely won't make it very far in this game so I simply can not recommend this even though it has some good things going for it.
- While playing on foot, when you get hit you lose your weapon which is absolutely ridiculous. For example, you pick up a briefcase, you use it to hit robots. If a robot hits or shoots you, you lose the briefcase and can no longer attack. If you get hit again you die.... -.-
