Combat felt very satisying. I tried to deflect shots onto other enemies, but it either didn't work, or I'm bad at it. If it's not in the game, it would make a good addition to an already awesome game in my opinion. Collecting gems to read the tomes had a meaning and felt it improved my character. I did not use the slide mechanic as much as I should have, but that's entirely the players fault. I need to zip around more and then attack. Stunning entry for a 7 day jam!

I'm glad you enjoyed it! The shot deflection can damage the enemies, but it's difficult to aim it in the heat of a fight. I tried to implement the sliding mechanic in the rooms with all the sloping geometry, but if I had more time there would have been more cool sliding ramps to use. I also wanted to add a slide kick powerup if I had the time. Thank you for the review!
