i reall like

interesting game

All the way until the first boss I was 100% just like "oh, so another run and gun shooter, meh" It was fine, minimal effort sort of thing, then I hit the first boss. It took a couple tries but then the dodging and attacking mechanics hit and I honestly really found myself enjoying the gameplay. It made all the time before the boss almost a net negative because you don't even consider the option of slashing with so many shooting enemies and the game clearly pushing you towards shooting.
The slash and dodge combat felt so fluid and fun! It felt challenging and tickled my brain in just the right way. I would have loved to fight more enemies that caused me to stop and tinker my approach each time

really amazing game but the controls were kinda hard to adjust to

I love this game, I liked the art-style/animation and level design, music was quite catchy too, and the boss at the end with the lore implications, controls were hard to get used to but that's the only con I can remember, excited for the release of the DX version
