The theme feels artificially inserted, but everything else is perfect. The visual effects are satisfying, the mechanics are easy to understand. There are multiple different bosses with different attack patterns and phases.
Good job! :thumbsup:
Great entry!
In addition, I loved the art and bosses, and how they made you think about your movement as well as shooting. Great game!
It was sometimes a little hard to tell whether a projectile was on the same plane as my character and I'd swing at nothing. Parrying the horizontal lasers didn't feel great. I'd propose having those enemies telegraph the laser and you had to parry it just before it hit for real, also it would be cool to have the blast not go through your character but stop just in front to indicate it was reflected.
I really liked this one overall. This is a really excellent game! It is very good on multiple levels. I really hope you can get enough ratings for the LD rankings.

I was about to hit submit on what I just wrote, and skimmed the other comments - I had no idea there was a gun LOL. I didn't read the instructions very carefully. After going back, the game doesn't need the gun and I had more fun just parrying. Still great the second time.
