Thirty-second GOTW finished for 2023. Feels like a precursor to the Metal Slug series. Repetitive level designs, wonky movement and aiming, and no diagonals left this one really showing its age. Boss designs were pretty neat though, even if one of them looked awful similar to Contra. Ending was unexpected.
Would be pretty fun but it has a lot of auto-scrollers, repeating environments, and some deal-breaking movement glitches. There's something fucked up with moving - you can sometimes stay in your running animation for a moment after you come to a stop, and if you hit up or down during those frames, you'll continue moving forward. Constantly died because I ran into an enemy when I intended to crouch. No idea if revisions ever fixed this.
