It's alright! It has some interesting systems and mechanics, but I think the level design could be a bit better. The levels utilize a lot more lateral space on a wide screen, which can result in some cool choices, but it doesn't quite work for me. Enemy design also feels kind of lacking. I feel like the controls could be improved a bit and it would help, too. Specifically, there's no reason to have a switch weapon button when you only have one other weapon. Just use that other button for the other weapon! The mechanics feel good when they work, though. The story is kind of forgettable. The ending also feels a bit abrupt, but maybe that's what it's going for!
