Just finished it, and... well it's awesome. I love the sprites, the ciclops enemies (specially the wheel with other enemy inside, i loved that xD), and gameplay is fun. Just gonna point out a few things:
-The boomerang seemed too OP at first, but then you made rooms that needed to use the item, i liked that. Maybe you should add more switches. Everyone loves switches.
-Enemies are far 2 easy to kill (except for that falling-teeth-thing, that's though), but maybe more challenging formations will do: lots of box-tossers attacking so you need accurate timing to pass.
-I liked the stage-style the game seems to follow (with saving points placed far from each other etc...)
-There are some platforms, in the room where you get the gun, that are surrounded with falling-jaws-enemies. They are so close it's almost impossible to stay unharmed on that platform. Maybe it's what you wanted, i don't know.
Hope i've been of help. The game is pretty polished, and i liked it a lot. Looking forward to moar updates, so keep on the good work! :D

MILESTONE 2 BUILD COMPLETE YAY
DOWNLOAD VERSION 0.14 HEREThis took a while. New to this version are more stages, more weapons, more enemies, more polishing, a pause/collectables screen, help crystals that act like a tutorial and this: This "speech bubble" thing that appears whenever you switch weapons, indicating which weapon you are using now. Some notes: stage 4 uses a WIP song and I'm not sure about the song in stage 5. Do you guys think it should be more actionish or is it okay? I'll probably upload an updated version with the complete stage 4 song when it's done. Also, milestone 3 build will take a while to get released since it'll have a lot of new content and I'll travel soon. Enjoy this for now! -Enemies are far 2 easy to kill (except for that falling-teeth-thing, that's though), but maybe more challenging formations will do: lots of box-tossers attacking so you need accurate timing to pass. I see, I'll work on more challenging formations then. -There are some platforms, in the room where you get the gun, that are surrounded with falling-jaws-enemies. They are so close it's almost impossible to stay unharmed on that platform. Maybe it's what you wanted, i don't know. This was fixed, I think. If it's in the start of Stage 2 I hope it's better now.

This seems promising! I'm keeping tabs on this for sure.
Possible bug: the game runs more slowly after the first death (I'm on Windows 7). Quitting and restarting the program seems to fix it.
Do the save points work yet? When I press A after dying, I'm taken back to the menu.
Edit: I like the idea of having the boomerang attached to a separate button than the primary weapon. It could make for some neat situations.

You need to press D on the title screen to load your save. I think it says there? Also whenever you die you go to the title screen automatically. I don't know about the "first death" thing, never experienced that... I guess somebody with Windows 7 can confirm if this happens too? Thanks for the comments Sparky!

I tried on windows 7 and had no slowdown.
I the game is really turning out nicely. the water level was cool. The diamonds look better, and look like they spin. Maybe have the info-diamonds be a different color from save point? The purple tileset was hard to see against the background; make the background darker. how many items were findable in the demo? I got just 3 i think.
Music is really awesome Javet.

Before the game can even start up, it displays
"ERROR in action number 1 of Create Event for object Main:
Error defining an external function."
Which is a damn shame, because it looks great, judging from the screenshots.
Tried it again; if you just hold Enter, the game will eventually get through all the error messages and start. It works perfectly too; loading is fine and everything. So maybe once the game is done, you can change it so that error messages aren't displayed in the global game settings. Getting sweeter by the second.

Awww.. That's cute Lol, I havent finished the 1.4 version and you've already done the 1.5th BTW, I noticed that the gun firing caused a little bit of lagging, especially when you're shooting like crazy...

I didn't notice any lag. Very enjoyable so far! Still too easy Maybe add a HARDCORE TO THE MAX mode? Also the music is very enjoyable. The instant-shot gun and machine gun seem kinda redundant with the first gun... (which I assume you've powered up since the first time I played?)

The machine gun seems pointless, since the revolver can be fired as fast as you press the button. You should probably add a max firing speed to the revolver. (and normal gun if it works the same way)

About the guns, I'll swap machine gun's and revolver's locations and add a 6 bullet limit to the Revolver, requiring you to reload. Also the first gun was indeed powered but compared to the Revolver, it really lacks power. Well, I can't have equal guns in terms of power.
I don't know if version 0.15 has the "falling" enemy fixed, but I changed that since you guys begged so much hah.
And Time Attack mode (the one below LOAD) will have 3HP I think, so that might be the HARD MODE you're looking for.
Thanks guys. Next update will take a while, though...

"(I forgot the explanation about the machine gun here)" "oh god this description is terrible" Nice touch there In this 1.5 version, the handgun does not causing any more lags. And it plays easier than the 1.4

Is there a point to this game besides running around killing shit for no reason?

Well the game is not finished yet so you can only go through the current stages; the story bits only happen during the final world. Also the reason is to get to the end of the dungeon and find a way to ressurrect your mom!!
