sprite and artworks could be more polished but gameplay reminds me a lot of contra than metal slug

I'm still not a fan of the in game pixel art. It's interesting because all the menus and other art look great, in game though? Hmmm.

I hate to say it, but they need to revamp it a bit. It just looks to flat, and sound effects are a bit annoying.

I actually think it looks like an old Amiga game, but not in a good way.

Here's hoping a lot of polish coming to this one.

i am glad that I am not the only one who think that pixel art need to be overhauled.
It looks like a mix bag of good illustration style with some what amateurish pixel art... it's all over the place and not in a good way

Seems like everyone's a pixel art critic these days. I actually don't have enough of an eye for art in general to say whether it's awful or not. I think it's best to just look at this as a low-budget indie project doing things on its own terms

I like this quote Johnny16Bit left on the neo-geo.com forums:
We're now actually way too far in the development to work with a pixel artist - and we have no budget for a pro anyway. We have nearly completed the assets; all from royalty free material and the labour of our caulks.

So in the team's defense, I like their rag tag underdog style. I won't expect something rivaling a release from a major developer, and as long as the artwork doesn't undermine the experience I'll judge it by its gameplay.

To be honest, lots of pixel artists on twitter that I know who are very passionate about arcade and indie dev would gladly to help out with the sprites.
I dont expect them to work for free but I am pretty sure they dont ask for tons of money from an indie dev project either.
At the end of the day, it's passion project for both sides and I think they can recruit good pixel artists for their game.
this game has lots of potentials and I do hope they can still improve the sprites before the final release
