Generally fun, but some enemy documentation or info would be really helpful. I keep dying to the shield guys because I don't understand how to deal with them.

penusbmic responds:

Thank you! I'm going to add some kind of documentation for enemies :)

SPOILERS AHEAD, I TALK ABOUT ENDING STUFF HERE

With that out of the way, the game sorta fell flat near the end, I feel. It was fun overall, and mechanically very good, but as it got darker it started making less and less sense story-wise. Particular things that bothered me were cases where the player is forced into a cutscene where they can't do anything, despite it having been entirely possible to have made it a playable instance. It makes the ending feel hollow, when the player feels they could've prevented the outcome if they'd been allowed to play the game.

the game is good overall, but leaving a bunch of enemies between you and the first boss that you need to fight through every time you die is a really bad game design decision

Stopsignal responds:

but what- what about dork souls- nah im just kidding. Indeed it might have been a lil bit too punishing, hahahahahah. Live and learn!!
Thanks a lot for the feedback, gamingsword! Thanks for playing!!! C:

the game is really fun and flowy, with the main issue being how long the rewind ability takes to recharge. 4 full seconds is a lot in an action game, and a reduction or even removal of the cooldown could seriously improve the pacing.

Seminix responds:

I totally agree with you. The rewind is the main focus of the game, and in testing I lowered it all the way from 10 seconds to 4. However, I will probably not lower the cooldown anymore, unless through upgrades or power-ups. I will instead add more abilities that will make the rewind less necessary to use. Thanks for your feedback!
