  • Unique and creative gameplay concept with an interesting mix of action and strategy elements.
  • Challenging and addictive difficulty that appeals to players seeking a tough game.
  • Retro-style graphics and music are well-done and fit the game's theme nicely.
  • Lack of control customization and inconvenient default control scheme, including forced controller use for co-op and no key rebinding.
  • No continue or checkpoint system makes progression frustrating, especially given lengthy and tough boss fights.
  • Repetitive mission design, poor enemy and level design balance, and occasional graphical inconsistencies hurt overall polish.

    The gameplay offers a unique and creative platform action experience with challenging but generally fair difficulty, featuring various gun mechanics and retro-inspired levels. While some find the shooting mechanics occasionally restrictive and the difficulty curve steep, the game remains engaging and enjoyable for fans of retro side-scrollers. Overall, it combines solid gameplay with a distinctive charm, though it may not appeal to those unfamiliar with the genre or seeking a casual experience.

    • “Honestly it's great, the gameplay is difficult enough to keep you interested while not being impossibly hard.”
    • “This game’s unique charm really shines through in terms of gameplay and creativity.”
    • “A bit of a steep difficulty curve and occasionally the shooting mechanics seem a bit constrictive, but overall it's a fun single screen platform action game.”
    • “Av-17 is a pretty good if you want challenge (I guess), but the strikes that I made in my gameplay section will really turn you off, especially if you’re not a hardcore person or somebody who isn’t familiar with side scrollers or retro style games in general.”
    • “There are 17 levels in the game and various gun mechanics for your character.”

  • graphics

    The graphics are predominantly retro 2D pixel art reminiscent of NES-style visuals, which some users find nostalgic and charming, though others consider them rough or inconsistently detailed. While not professionally polished, the art style is generally seen as refreshing and fitting, despite some poorly drawn or mismatched elements.

    • “Its new, refreshing, fun, and really cool to look at with the art style.”
    • “Graphics are, again, reminiscent of NES games.”
    • “Nice visuals.”
    • “Like most Gamemaker Studio construction kit games, this features lazy 2D retro pixel art instead of professionally done, contemporary PC graphics.”
    • “Some of the graphics are poorly drawn.”
    • “Some of the graphics seem over-detailed or just don't blend well in the game.”

  • music

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    83% positive mentions, 17% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The music is generally well-received, fitting the game's style with a nostalgic NES-like quality, though it may be a bit loud and not particularly memorable except for the boss theme. Overall, it enhances the gameplay experience positively.

    • “The power-ups are fun, the music is great (yet loud), and the movement options are fluid.”
    • “Music is good and reminiscent of NES games but not really memorable in my opinion with the exception of the boss theme.”
    • “Good music, fits the game well.”

  • monetization
