@NeonPizza I really enjoyed it — the combat and bosses were great — but I agree about the environments. Too many of them amount to "quiet, gloomy, sad." Compare Super Metroid, where the environments had radically different feels.
In my opinion, this game is significantly more fun than Enter the Gungeon.
Enter the Gungeon is still a great game, and it's more polished and has more content, more variety, but Nuclear Throne's gun mechanics and moment-to-moment pacing completely blow Gungeon out of the water. Even ostensibly powerful guns in Gungeon feel like little pea shooters compared to the guns in Nuclear Throne.
If Gungeon has you feeling like a tactical dude in a cover shooter, Nuclear Throne makes you feel like a cracked up gun-wizard who has to kill to breathe. The flow state you can get into in this game is simply sublime.
@Damo I have a difficult time believing there's literally zero input lag. Other gaming-oriented projectors have a significant amount. How did you measure it to find there was no input lag?
@goggles789 You seem to be having some trouble here, perhaps this will help:
synonym [sin-uh-nim] noun a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another in the language, as happy, joyful, elated. A dictionary of synonyms and antonyms (or opposites), such as Thesaurus.com, is called a thesaurus.
Oh man, Crystalis is one of the best games on the NES. Although I'd say it's less like Zelda, and more like Illusion of Gaia or a single-player Secret of Mana.

A note on input lag would be nice.

@goggles789 "Sure I'm wrong about how words work, but on the other hand, you know how to use the internet, so who's the real loser here?"
Wow, great thinking there sport.

@goggles789 I said it was similar to, not inspired by.
