Twin Shot Deluxe

Dear Nitrome I have been playing all of your games since I was little, from Twin Shot to Cave Chaos to Chiseled to Nitrome Must Die. The level of quality and polish in your games has always been immaculate, and I have always admired the work and personality that goes into each and all of them - Design (10/10) The pixel art has seen a very nice revamp overall, the original designs from past games were already nice and charming but the new story screens as well as newer animations bring these silly angel cats and the demons back to a newer life, with minor animation enhancements and colour palette changes that make them feel more alive than ever. The new enemy designs for Atlantis fit the overall feel of this new remaster while also fitting in the overall aesthetic of the series, and feel in place - Gameplay (8/10) The older levels were already perfectly and expertly designed for user interaction, and the new ones follow on the steps of older designs to create a similar experience that I enjoyed as well, though it was sad seeing some really good original levels replaced in the remaster treatment, but I understand why it was done. There are some changes from the original game that I feel were both a success and slightly questionable. I think one of my small gripes must be the mechanical change to the heart arrow that might as well be a new powerup altogether, I really wish it was kept as a new powerup and for the old heart arrow to be reworked to have a similar functionality but balanced around, maybe only propagating hearts to one another enemy instead of multiple or making enemies still be able to hit you as they are charmed before exploding, in general, one or two more powerups would've been appreciated. Oh, and, the mini-powerup... it shouldn't be timed based, having a higher jump is really useful. I'm also confused about Atlantis lvl 17 (I think it is) which seems like the only level in the remaster to feature the blue blob appearing and disappearing enemy that also appears in the cover for Twin Shot 2, first of all... it's really silly that you haven't used such a dynamic enemy in levels more for the remaster, I really missed it. Second of all, its appearance in that level specifically is devious hahahaaha. Because of the nature of the pixel art for the water, that creature is pretty much camouflaged and it becomes a game of spotting where it is before being able to attack it, it does make me wonder about the accessibility decisions of that level's design, where I would like a similar concept to be tackled but without messing with colours, though I understand why it is the way it is and it genuinely challenged me in a way the entirety of the game hadn't until that point. Talking more about Atlantis, I feel the pufferfish enemies and the water cloud are greatly underutilized, and could lend for some interesting level designs where you are trying to push enemies around or where you have to be careful how you hit them as to not push yourself away, maybe even using the water cloud as a safety net, the water can wrap around and heal you as you are attacked with poison, just, generally, doing more things with the water mechanic that is a great focus for this world, electrifying the water with electric type enemies or allowing water to cancel out fire attacks would've also added to the elemental approach of design, just, some things to take into consideration. I will say, the aforementioned poison mechanic and the fish enemies who have to be deprived of water do add a level of complexity I would've liked to see a little bit more of, maybe as, hopefully, new updates roll around or a new game entirely for the series, I have bought this game as Nitrome is a company I wish to support with all my heart. One last thing, the bosses... they are not disappointing, don't get me wrong, but they can fail to stand out difficulty wise from the rest of the levels, they are quick to defeat and often will focus on only doing one attack instead of multiple. I was never damaged by the first world's boss and sometimes, for the rest of them, it really felt like I was waiting for an attack to end instead of multiple attacks coming out and them feeling more dynamic, they could use a slight speed up and maybe 5 hits instead of 3. Oh, and maybe adding enemies to defeat as you navigate your way back to the boss' weak point. Music (8/10) Astounding soundtrack, Making each of the world have their own music is a very natural idea and the new soundtrack does fit in with the rest of the game, I would maybe say the 2nd world's music is a little bit weaker overall, as it lacks that firm motif the original one came in with, but its still an enjoyable and atmospheric track. Speaking of which, the music for the new Atlantis world is great too and it fits the setting perfectly. Main Menu is still very iconic as well Two gripes I have, one is going back to the bosses, where, it would've been nice to have a specific song for those areas to make them feel more distinct, this definitely elevated the stakes for the bosses back in Skywire, so I would've liked to see a similar treatment. And the other one, is just, some of the music may feel a little awkward when looping, I would say Hades and Atlantis are the biggest culprits here, specially the later one, I think some tuning can allow them to feel more natural in that regard. Still, amazing soundtrack I even listen outside of the game! Story (6/10) Not much to say here, because, it's not as relevant to the game to have a deep story and you understand that, the first 3 worlds have a cohesive story that goes from the sky cities being attacked to an attack of their own back in hell. But... what about Atlantis? We don't get an explanation other than "evil is brewing in the ocean's depth", it is definitely an interesting location to go to and presents itself for some engaging design ideas but I wish we could've tied it back to the main story in a more cohesive way Options and misc (8/10) Has been mentioned before, 4 player keyboard multiplayer, online options and keyboard mapping would've greatly allowed more people to play this game with their friends, specially online since we currently live in a world where people are making online friends more than ever, being able to play with them in that more simple way would allow the game to reach a greater audience, as is, Steam or Parsec provide a decent solution, but I want this to be considered for future updates or games altogether Overall (8/10) I'm REALLY happy to see my little angel cats back and I want to see a lot more of them in the future, this is a great game to just spend time with every now and then and try to unlock everything and see what's there to offer, maybe even an infinite-oriented design with the random mode where you have a set amount of hearts (10 for instance) and have to see how far you can make it before fully dying (where hearts don't recover after completing a level), or a nuzlocke where you choose your powerups and finish your run once you've used all of them, interesting ideas to give replayability to both single and multiplayer. As it stands, the game is great, it captures the essence of the original, oozes with charm, love and care I can't wait to see what the future has to offer for Nitrome, and I hope people pay more attention to them And, one last thing, I understand the line "Relive your childhood", I know a lot of use are already avid Nitrome fans, but, I feel like a lot of us now love you guys not only because you were part of our childhood, but because we admire your game design and dedication. I wanna say, you're a lot more than you are selling you to be, I would like to see a different approach to the marketing of these games that feels more confident about what it is, instead of what it was All of that to say, THANK YOU NITROME! Can't wait to play more <3

小时候玩的很开心，所以在重制版发售时也是首发购买了，现在打完了来写下感想。今年的重制版里不仅新增了一个章节，原来的前三章里的关卡大部分也都是新做的，并且还能在重制版里回味旧版关卡。体感上重制版里大部分关卡偏简单，原版关卡稍难，最难的是原版地狱，在这章节里怪物也堆的很多。总之玩下来也是量大管饱，玩的还是很爽的，可以说这次重制版很有诚意了

Very fun. A really good game to play with your children as more players are always helpful since the difficulty doesn't scale up with more players.

好玩！还是以前的味道。 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 前三个主题关卡难度不是太大，但是个人感觉亚特兰蒂斯的第43关极度恶心，因为不想跳关，所以一直打，我应该重开了不下百次，其他关卡的难度与其根本不能比，最后还是靠着飞行能力过去的。那关两个小黑一直跳来跳去，我把小黑打成红怪的时候，翅膀来了，我赶紧捡起来，过程中扣了一命。之后就是一直逃命，边逃边打，不仅要注意跳来跳去的红怪，还要注意排水口砸下来的水雷。红怪经常跟在我后面跳，要不是我能飞早就挂了，不知道的还以为这关是逃生游戏。最后好不容易把两个红怪血一点一点磨死，还不能放松警惕，因为距离关卡结束还有一段时间，一旦碰到水雷，前面的努力就全部白费。还好，猫猫在空中稳住了，这才终于过关。 -------------------------------------------------------------------- 四大主题全部通关，我还是坚持我的看法，亚特兰蒂斯第43关是最最最难的。要是在这关卡住，又不想折磨自己，建议跳关，因为第44关相比这关是断崖式的简单。总体来说，游戏是真的棒，要质量有质量，要情怀有情怀，还是十分推荐的！

Nitrome 就是我小时候玩 Flash 游戏时最喜欢的游戏制作商，打开一个游戏看到这个 Logo 就知道这游戏不会差。Twin Shot 也是我以前最喜欢的游戏之一，现在上重置版火速和老婆双人通关了，又爽快又好玩。 什么时候重置其它游戏啊？ 8.5/10
