loved it!! it looks so good... rock's (mega man's) run cycle is a little awkward, but i got used to it. and hooray bass! bass was a lot of fun. where did roll go though?? she has a sprite, couldn't they have just put her in the lab or something? it feels super weird because she just vanishes lol. i feel like she could have had an interesting role in the story too, but i understand the limitations of the style.
anyway, actual gameplay critique - bosses felt super easy, generally, except for bass and wily, where the difficulty went up by a lot. i decided to beat wily without using any tanks or rush, just to add some challenge at the end. it made the game last about 10 hours longer (literally!) but i feel glad for doing it. the fight would be fine if it weren't for how the fire works - you get hit once, and it freezes you and takes a quarter of your health! also, SUPER short i-frames in this game; i think they were too short. other than that, really fun:)
