Loved the concept and had a blast after getting the hang of it. I had fun with the tumbleweed early on, but quickly realised that the meta was actually just shooting non stop and jumping around like a maniac, as opposed to synergising with the tumbleweed since it ended combos early and was overshadowed by the guns blazing strat.
I also didn't realise you could jump or use the lasso until pretty far into my play time. This should have been made clear at the start of the game. I also didn't take advantage of bullet time at all as I found it slightly distracting.
Overall good experience, but some playtesting with the tumbleweed to make it more viable and less demoralising to see it hit the ground and end a combo would have been nice.
