Street Cleaner: The Video Game

Your gun and your trusty baseball bat are the only tools you need to take on the criminal underworld through seven action packed stages.
Street Cleaner is a modern synthwave artist based in San Diego. Inspired by action films of the ’80s to write the soundtrack to a vigilante movie that never existed, he has broadened his sound from retro synth inspiration to chiptunes, darksynth, and more.

Can't deny the greatness of STREET CLEANER as a fellow musician, love the music of course the great retro aesthetic, i must say tho the controls still need work but considering this is his first and looking forward to finding the 2nd and playing the third ,not sure they are going to get fixed and they at my age make it harder than it should, not sure i'll b able to get past the third level, at which time i may just enjoy a playthrough on youtube, speaking of, if you love retro and groovy electronica check out anything by NUCLEO SYNTHESIS which can be found by searching for it on youtube as NUCLEO SYNTHESIS THE GENESIS ARCHITECT JS LOL

Perfect Game; worth every penny, the sort of game in the league of ninja gaiden 2 and castlevania and ninja crusaders and shinobi 3.
-The music is well made, much thought is put into nearly every note and beat for beautiful harmony!
It has a very driving and strong melodic composition, in most songs. Powerful and evocative of the era they are depicting.
-The graphics, some might not like but are faithful to the hardware(s?) being imitated; while itself is very intricately done. Many details are thrown in that might be difficult for someone who doesn't particularly like or isn't used to this graphical style to see? However I feel right at home, most things are self-explanatory to me in how the games colours are chosen and used.
-The controls are stiff, but that's a good thing in my mind. It requires Mastery and observation of how the gaem works and then actually using that to work within the game to beat it; with effort and understanding.(and good timing and putting the character in the right spots at the right time and sometimes luck if going in blind haha)
That said, some may find the controls .. unfavorable. While oppositely, despite the punishing difficulty; there are I think infinite continues. There are also a few spots where there is this nice dog that reheals you, pet it every time you see it. That and the gun is really nice and simple and at first seems weak but is actually powerful when used at the right times and can hit difficult enemies and end boss fights hardest parts very quickly.
-I Love the execution of this game in ites entirety, thank you to the makers of this game!
And everyone that inspired it!
Thank you all!
