I'm here to throw boomerangs and chew bubble gum, and I'm all outta gum.

Beat while only running on slow motion for 2 bosses. I instantly liked this game due to the precise tight controls and ability to shoot diagonal, something Mega Man can't do without a special weapon. This game was clearly inspired by the Mega Man series with the core gameplay and stage selection. There were no special weapons or boss weaknesses though. The stages were somewhat non linear with alternate routes and optional power ups, like energy tanks, armor + wave beam attack, and screen clearing bombs. You had to find a contact to get a key, then unlock the boss room. The wave attack made the bosses much easier but it was lost after taking 3 hits. The wasp nest and giant terminator bosses stood out as very easy while the 2nd and final bosses were the ones I used slow. I did the 6 stages in numerical order. Most of the time I barely beat the time limit with stages 1 and 2 being at less than 30 seconds. Stage 5 I beat with only 4 seconds left, and stage 6 I restarted because I found my way to the boss without finding the contact. Should not have skipped those ladders going underground. Solid fun well made game with cool aesthetic and music. Boomerangs are a lame weapon though.

8.0/10

Mega man like shooting/platforming but with levels that require exploration. Great sound and visuals.
