Oh geez man. I'm terrified to post this, because I feel like there's a bug I haven't found. But here it is...

From the readme:

XenoCreeps Demo 1.0

A game about blasting aliens.

Jump (A) + Shoot (B) to shoot a powerful shotgun blast that launches you in the air.

Shoot (B) on the ground to stir some dust that makes our enemies turn around.

There may still be bugs present in the game so be sure to let me know if you find anything.

Known Bugs:
Dusting a Hopper will have them move towards you.
Spitter's spit can cause some significant slow-down.
You can die after killing the final boss if you touch his arms.
There's a slight chance of the Flappers leaving the area into the HUD.

Special Thanks To:

I played it and I'm in love with it! I think you got the difficulty just right for the arcade genre. I'm adding it to my NES classic later.
(Thanks for letting me do the music!)

This is heaps fun to play! I like the jump & shoot mechanic you've added, it's fun bouncing around the screen and shooting Xenos below. It reminds me a little bit of Bubble Bobble with the floaty jumps, level layouts and authentic arcade-experience. Also that cover art is F****** awesome, I love it! Everything is just awesome. Great work, Nate! :D

AHHH! Good!! Bubble Bobble was a huge inspiration for it. :D I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Nice chunky style and luminous colors, reminds me of flint hook. Game plays really nice too. That jump animation is so empowering and satisfying. Well done :D

Honestly the physics aren't 100% where I wanted them to be. I still got to figure out how to allow for some directional influence while spinning. I want you to be able to pull back slightly or move forward slightly, but I just didn't have time to implement it in time.

Ideally, one would get used to the physics over time and be able to get the character to exactly where they want.

I just played this game! This is pretty damn awesome, an original bubble bobble style game, its nice! Graphics are great too and music is cool! I hope to make one style arcade game in the future! Great job on this!
 
My first impression was "Wow, looks really nice and polished!" then I wondered how I could kill the enemies. When I figured out I had to jump and was rolling around it really blew me away. I had a lot of fun! Great game!
