Was curious to see how much has changed since the last demo. I really appreciate having easier difficulty options for scrubs like me. Would appreciate a life system on top of that though. Nothing kills my mood more than getting hit by a stray laser during the first boss and having to restart the entire level. Speaking of which, that laser needs to be telegraphed better for how fast it moves.
I also still don't get why you have to move the arrow keys to have Hilly start shooting. Her starting position should just be her aiming upwards. As far as I can tell she'll never otherwise enter the non-aiming state so it's just a pointless input.
For some more minor nitpicks:
- It doesn't seem to be possible to go back to the main menu or stage select from the game over screen.
- Hildengarde's arrows are too dark and blend in a little too much with the background
- Lombard's sword is still pretty unwieldy to use with its awkward angles. You are also still pretty much defenseless to bullets heading your direction from a more horizontal angle.
- Story could use a little more substance but I'll chalk that up to personal taste. If the dialogue doesn't really add much to the experience then I'd rather not have it at all. Appreciate that it's skippable.
Hope you find the feedback helpful. Looking forward to further updates.
