Hi there!
Shinu Real Arts here, the dev of WOB.
thanks for the mention and the cool video, it was fun watching.
I noted all the feedback you've mentioned and we'll be working on it.
Here are things that you missed out, mostly because the tutorial is hidden in the bonus menu :/ , but as soon as you get a turret (blue item with a plus), you can rotate them using the triggers (more options on the hmm options lol), and when you get a shield (yellow item) you can launch it as a super attack by pressing B.
Thanks again and hope you'll have a better 2nd playthrought.
Shinu Real.
