but its platformer, not metroidvania.

a rly good game for 2d act luvers, but hardcore ones only.
this game is good, but i need to point out sumthings on surface:

1. this is made by Studio Saizensen, the studio that made Umihara Kawase. a famous 2d act game studio with : weird hitbox, weird hurtbox, weird iframe, weird physic. and this game is a hook action metoridvania game. you know how messy it will be.
2. its a bad port (originally NS game)
   3, the program is buggy.

Graphics and animations look nice.
The first boss, the Wolf, is among the most annoying boss battles I've ever seen 😄
The MC's gun is the embodiment of a pea-shooter.

Highly recommended to play with a controller, it's horrible with K + M.

Dude Bionic Commando was my childhood. What other game could you blow up Hitlers head off! :D

Another interesting metroidvania for the "play at some point" folder!

Good job!
