Yeah i tend to get a lot of inspiration from classics ^^
The reflector shield is something i wanted to try as i experimented with similar mechanics on previous entries, but there they were more of a hidden bonus than a full part of the game, so i made it a full part of the gameplay loop here. The idea was more or less a mix between the shield mechanics from Biometal and Gigawing in terms of influence.
I'll see if i get some time, but i think i'll probably push a bit more to keep working on this one post jam since i had some intended stuff i didn't get to do due to jam time and hopefully improve the game along the way.
Thanks for giving it a shot, and i'm glad you enjoyed it :)
