The mouse movement being connected to the X axis made this game trickier than anticipated, but it was also an interesting challenge.
Having to switch between weapons and shield on the fly made the levels feel intense. I especially liked the moments were the bullet would hit the shield, causing time to slow down just to see the bullet being kicked back. It was an awesome touch.
The retry button was also very appreciated. Made things very convenient, especially in a game like this where you're going to die a lot. The different items that you're supposed to slash definitely caught me off guard, like having bananas and apples kill me; but it was funny.
If anything, it'd be interesting to see an iteration of this with some variation in the scenery and music, but it felt to me like a fun challenge. Cool game!
