Thanks Willow :)
Yeah this jam had a bit more things rushed due to constant bug hunting/ fixing (many i apparently didn't catch from feedback so far) so i couldn't playtest as thoroughly as i did on Bushi Duo where things went more smoothly ^^'
I tried not to go too crazy with the scope so i prefered going for a single level and craft it the best i could and have the best possible progression flow, and in a jam's time there's only so much metroidvania style progression i can make :p
The weapon upgrade has a bug, it doesn't do more damage as i intended to (and i don't know why yet) so that's why it's as underwhelming as it is :(
Glad you seemed to like the game anyway ^^
