X-Zero

The Metroid-Contra crossover no one asked for.

Needs way too many QOL improvements.

• The game looks great and movement is okay but shooting is awkward.
  You can't look ahead, so you can get in a swarm and almost instantly die.
• Checkpoints a necessity.
• Indication where open paths are on the map.
• Losing weapon upgrades upon hit is cruel when you need it because of getting hit.
• Get rid of the lives system.
• Consider an autofire option.
• Remove/lower spawn rate of enemies, especially swarms and ESPECIALLY not right underneath you.

This game gives me flashbacks to the era of “Nintendo Hard” and all those borderline abusive shareware games. You did a great job and I’ll be sending you my therapy bill.
