This game got significantly better with a few upgrades. I think move speed and fire rate are the big ones here. The game just feels clunky to play, but once you get a few upgrades, it sings. The griffin pet was fun, but a little frustrating when it kept flying in front of my arrows. A little more clarity on what the upgrades did would help, too.
Once I got the hang of the movement and had a few upgrades, I really liked the flow of the stages. It felt a bit arcade-like and mowing down waves of enemies with my lil griffin bud was a great feeling. More of that please!
Fun concept that could be a really cool experience with a bit more time and polish. Well done on making this in a weekend!
