Managed to finish it and had a blast! Died a couple times but just had to keep coming back and finally beating those bosses (especially the Apprentice Mage) was just so satisfying.
I really appreciated the super smooth character movement and rapid-fire shooting mechanic (after getting the hang of it a bit). All of the bosses designs were engaging, looked great in your graphical style and creative and I'd love to learn more about the lore behind them (especially the last boss, with that slow, sad death sequence, very cool!).
