It's good for what it is. I feel like this would be something that would be cool to expand upon, because on one hand, the 64x64 was obviously done as a conscious design choice, but at the same time, it really works against the game. I ended up not wanting to explore or look for hostages because the screen movement between certain areas was really rough and sensitive and the level design was a bit maze-like. As well as the fact that enemies were able to shoot the second I spawned in an area, before I even had time to think. I think the game actually had the best enemy/exploration balance in the first two levels, but as enemies started appearing in higher quantities, sometimes even on top of each other, I kinda wanted to just run past them all and not even try defeating them.

Ended up tapping out at the last level because the endless barrage of enemies was just annoying to deal with, and I knew I was just gonna run past them all anyway, especially with the introduction of the ones that couldn't be damaged. Although shout out to this game for allowing the player to run past the shooting enemies and even come into contact with them without taking damage.
