Iji is a nice, nostalgia-inducing game of a type you don't often see any more -- a 2D platform shooter. There's some story in which the eponymous character, Iji has to make her way through an underground research facility that's been taken over by aliens, but what's more important is eight weapons, an RPG-like system to improve your character (and what you choose to uprgrade can make one character quite different from another), lots of secret areas, and multiple story paths.
It's really quite impressive for a game produced by a lone wolf developer -- and for a Game Maker game as well.
Awesome one
This game is really great, I recommend it to anyone who doesn't get goosebumps when hearing about platformers.
Glorious.
At first I thought it was a little bit too Flashback-like for my taste. Good thing I kept playing; it gave me the biggest 2d kicks since Commander Keen IV!
Polished
This game was slow to start, but quickly grew on me. Play this thing.
I really wanted to enjoy
I really wanted to enjoy this game, but I can't enjoy the slow pace. A dash or run button would have been nice.
