“The team mischief gameplay is interesting and challenging when you have to heal and manage the health of all 4 characters.”
“Absolutely awesome gameplay, very polished and fun so far.”
“Really fun and engaging gameplay loop.”
“It's just, it is a game with a lot of untapped potential, because the vision of the developer seems to be mainly built around the idea of getting scores and upgrades, to get even higher scores. I need a finale; it's one of the reasons why I really like 'The Binding of Isaac' - you can replay that game as many times for the gameplay, but you'll always know it'll finish eventually.”
“B) Things like 5% reduced cooldown need too much line-up rolls to actually have some kind of positive outcome in core gameplay.”
“Maybe add some kind of tooltips to gameplay modes.”
