I'm also a big fan of Hyperlight, so I'm really happy you could see the influence here. I spent a lot of time trying to make the combat feel just right, and I think it paid out in the end. Thank you so much for the kind words :)
If you like HLD's music too, I take a lot of inspiration from Disasterpeace. So if you're ever looking for someone to help with music & sfx on a jam, lmk!
