Amazing game! Can't wait to see the rest.
Kind of sticked to the Buster and Rush, but the weapons look neat.
Probably not too difficult since I managed to beat a single level (I took 26 Deaths in total to beat the entire demo)
What makes this game hard is that the stages feel pretty long, and with the default amount of checkpoints, you can die right before one and go ALL the way back to the start! Though there's an option for extra checkpoints (but I'm no chicken!)
Oh I also got 672 bolts. I'd like if you could purchase upgrades from the shop, but if its just items (Lives, Tanks, Beat, Eddie, & Spike Guard) thats fine too.
My time is 1:10:05.

This has been an enjoyable experience overall, I am impressed by the technical and artistic showcase of this game.
The level look and the graphics are really good, I am happy to see new Mega Man sprites, I actually welcome them, of course the levels and the bosses also do look good.
The controls are solid, no doubt on that and the level design is alright also, with gimmicks that are varied enough to complement the level, the bosses are also brutal but enjoyable.
And last but not least, the soundtrack is a banger, full stop, the songs are good overall and quite memorable.
Overall, I give this game and its soundtrack a Sopa de Jungle Man/10, good job to the team! I hope to see the full game eventually.

Technically very competent, shows a lot of promise, but it can be more frustrating than fun at times (particularly with Breeze Man's stage).

My lasting impression, after playing it a couple of hours ago, is definitely positive, I'm willing to forget some of the frustrating moments, as overall, it was a more than decent experience, which is more than I could ever ask for from a free fangame project.

Looking forward to the eventual full release!

Where is the demo link? I can't find a link for most of these games. I did register with the forum, so that shouldn't be it.

He asks why the second level shot does 1 damage instead of 2 damage and it seems to me that it is something small or very similar to the normal shot and the 3 third shot looks very big compared to the second one that looks very similar to the second

great game has a lot of potential and I like it I have been following this game for a long time

Traditionally, the second level charge shot in Mega Man games deals 1 damage, but is able to pierce enemies it kills (which is the advantage over the uncharged shot). We are emulating this behavior.

Okay, well I don't think I came up with an idea while I was finishing the demo, maybe something like the second shot does 2 damage when it hits an enemy, if it kills that the next enemy it hits just do one of damage
even without that or the sprite change the game is still pretty promising
