Very cool concept! I liked that this was a different take on the metroidvania genre. Finding new power-ups and solving puzzles was the most enjoyable part. I do have some feedback through:
- When I first started the game, my character immediately died before I could do anything. Enemies spawned in the first room before I picked up the beam. I respawned quickly, but it was a little disorienting.
- The beam itself is very slow. It's the first ability so it's kinda understandable, but I found that it's too slow to fight anything with. Granted, the turret gun can be picked up early.
- When using the turret, there's wasn't too much feedback that I was hitting enemies (damage numbers, pushing the enemy back, etc). I think they flashed red? But it was hard to tell because there were already a lot of flashing lights.
All in all, it was still fun to play. The performance was a little laggy when I initially loaded in, but after that, it ran great!
