I only played the singleplayer a bit, but I´m unsure what to make of it. It feels like a metroidvania in some way? The weapons feel fine to shoot with, though some can feel a bit weird but that´s fine. The whole movement can feel a bit weird with how momentum works (stuff like falling onto a slope) and how floaty it is but I think that just takes some getting used to. Why am I collecting eggplants? I eventually killed myself with the torpedo launcher.

Thank you for testing! If you like, you should definitely try the multiplayer part of the game which is the main focus for now.
The single-player consists off a short campaign section. Once you reach the hub, you can try out a survival arena mode and several boss fights.
The physics are pretty floaty and that has definitely put people off of the game. I think it helps to view the game more about moving around with boosting (right click)/fast falling and treating jumping/walking as more supplemental forms of movement
eggplants were used as currency to unlock new weapons and upgrades, but for the purpose of the demo, everything starts off unlocked.
