(I played your game for judging. But the reviews were lost => here’s what I remember of mine)

Honestly a very fun game. I am impressed with the quality of the UI, it just works how I want it to. Good job on that.

I played both the jam and the updated versions. I’d say that I like all the changes you made. Especially:

  • more weapon variety. Melee weapons!
  • big nerf to shields, they were really OP ^^
  • my favorite: the part that makes you dash

These really targetted the complaint I had with the jam version: the very static gameplay (big shields and pew-pew-pew). Now this is less easy to stay in one place, and I have good (and fun!) reasons to move.

So great entry, and great design decisions for the update (in my opinion). Have a nice day :)

Very creative and fun to link up all the items. I want to play this more than I was able to. Good game!
