It played pretty well without the rolling. I wouldn't say it was static, I just love moving fast in video games. I did however have difficulty deflecting bullets. I just couldn't get the timing down so opted for rolling a lot.
Well, we wanted the deflection to be hard to master, but I think it's too hard as it is. We intend to do a little balancing and polishing, even though it won't really matter for the game jam now.
And again, thank you for your review and feedback! :D
