While it shows great potential and a well-crafted foundation, it still requires significant polish and refinement before feeling fully ready.

    • “Again, it needs quite a lot of polish, but it has a fantastic baseline and mechanics, which shows that everything the game contains was done with a lot of thought and intent when it comes to general mechanics and how it should work.”
    • “Solid gameplay loop, many clever and engaging mechanics at play, and lovely art direction -- the combination of which is somewhat rare across the genre.”
    • “And the gameplay loop is so strong, so many combinations, so much re-playability, so much room for creativity.”

  • music

    • “Also coming from a fellow music nerd, the soundtrack is amazing.”
    • “Normally I'm not into roguelites or bullet hells, but this grabbed me; the art design and music are so intriguing, the lore is vague and mysterious.”
    • “I really appreciate the soundtrack for keeping me in flow (sometimes that can break it for me), and the inventory management concept keeps the runs unique.”

  • graphics
