    I LOVE IT.
    BioShock has been my favorite game since ever and this 2D version is such an impressive homage. Truly inspiring!!
    I dunno if you continue developing it further but I'd like to point a few things that could bring the experience of Rapture another step closer to the original.
    1) As you enter the lighthouse, what if you had both the lights off (over Ryan's head) and as Jack gets closer, the lights turn on, making for a little more dramatic reveal.
    2) The Bathysphere (sp?) can have a small, door closing animation after you press E and a little depressurization effect in the way of steam coming off the seams to show that this is a submarine.
    3) The most important thing in the original was the fact that the word "Rapture" reveals the city. 11 year old me had goosebumps with this reveal. To achieve this, we can have the starting portion of the game be covered with seabed stuff like corals or better yet, be part of a cave-like thing ... and as the word Rapture comes up, the city should come into view!
    This was incredible to watch. I'd love to see this become a full game.

    I love the idea of recreating Bioshock for a 2D-platform, and truly believe this could result in a experience as compelling as Alien 3 or Abuse. What I see in the video does not remind me of Super Nintendo visuals though - too sharp, clean, colorful. Even if the visuals would work, the gunplay seems to be based on mouse controls. I never played with mouse on SNES. Therefore I find the description highly misleading, so sorry.

    If alien: infestion did work so well (with one caveat being the aim), I can imagine this being a very fun game, though I prefer 16-bit sprites myself.
    One cool 2d game would be dead space, limited ammo to build tension, variety of firing patterns provided by different weapons, A LOT of potential for puzzles (specially when you find a new tool/weapon), I would just switch ammo for energy and tweak the weapon selection a bit.

    Amazing job!! However, this is going to sound kinda petty and stupid but you shouldn't have given Jack a gun until a little later on. Even if it's just after the first enemy because part of what makes the opening of Bioshock work so well is that feeling of vulnerability while diving into a twisted world you don't yet understand. A very small nitpick but I figured I should bring it up anyways. Other than that, it's great!! Can't wait to see more from you
