Probably a very minor issue to handle but every time I died and started over I had to hit F2 again so I could use my controller (...I died a lot).
Some of the movement felt a bit slippery(?) I would stop moving but it felt like she would slide further along into a wall much more than a physics based stop would usually give (if that is even something you actually added).
The game, however felt really really nice. I played on fantastic settings using an almost 10 year old machine that has never had a single upgrade in parts and it played very smooth with no slowdown at all. Some of the enemy placement felt a little unfair but the overall experience was really nice. I wasn't fond of any of the other guns sans the starting weapons and even after I picked up the frost one to handle the buzz saw enemy I still went back to get my "Re-paw-lver". The starting weapons just have a meatier feedback to them so they actually feel powerful. Great game with an amazing future!
-scattergun feels like it scatters a bit too much? for a charge weapon it feels unreliable, maybe I just suck but a lot of times it felt like it should have hit but it didn't
really enjoyed playing this, i think i've beaten it 3 or 4 times this morning.
has a surprising amount of detail for what's described as a prototype, in my opinion.
love how enemies can damage each other. :)
the scattergun definitely does more damage with the charged shots but it doesn't feel powerful enough, though i suppose when you factor in the added mobility it can give you this could be considered a nonissue. i still feel that if you could dual wield and fire them both then they'd be great, but with the charge up + recoil being only able to fire one and not one-shot a mook makes the guns you start with seem way better.
really excited to see where this goes. thanks for the opportunity to play!
-Love the character design. Love the overall game feel, a nice mix of cutesy and action.
-KBM controls are pretty good overall, though it takes a bit of getting used to the gamepad setup. Kind of wish you had a pure twin-stick control scheme for gamepads. Turning could be a bit faster across the board.
-Wish there were a dodge mechanic.
-The knockback on that scattergun is nuts, pushed me to my death a few times. Not a bad thing, but could be a tinge less intense.
-Shooting feels good though, despite my wrangling with the controls. Good sound effects, good feedback. Its fun to shoot those baddies.
Overall, I like it. Want to see what it plays like with more enemies on screen at once. Good stuff!
= The charge gun seems a bit weak? Maybe if you could fire the offhand gun while charging it would be better
= Found myself just using the standard guns the entire time after a bit
= The explosion from the 3rd shot of the standard guns hurting you seems odd I guess
- Wasn't sure if there was a pause menu or anything; Had to Alt-F4
- Didn't seem like the camera was controllable; Almost got stuck at one point because I got caught behind some blocks and couldn't see in the room with the bomb enemies

Lots of fun, great art!
you can avoid using chainsaw boss's door by jumping over the wall north or south of the gate.
