no clear objectives

Theme Notes:

weird setting - hero is an emo guy in a trenchcoat


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Good animation. Sprites are small and have a realistic look that I hate. Some parallax and such. Looks good for what it is but I just don't like it. Backgrounds are pixelated and darker compared to the SNES version, but the resolution seems better in this game.


Audio Score: 2

Audio Notes:

music is someone pressing and holding a note every few seconds on a spooooky organ sound effects are ok, like the sound of your electrical laser shot and the enemies grunting


Overall Score: 38
