That rocked my socks off
I remember the days of side scrolling shooters that were hard as hell to beat. Unfortunately, those days are long gone and replaced with games focusing on graphics & eye candy rather than gameplay. Good for you for creating a visually appealing game that's also fun to play. Even though I've beaten this, I find myself playing it all the time. To all of those who would knock this for being too hard....go back to your zillion polygon games that take a few hours to end with little to no gameplay. You're the reason the new gaming industry is shit.
P.S. I absolutely can't wait for this to come out on console!
