I am not very good at this game (I made it to like level 4 before I couldn't get out of the way fast enough from the initial jump even using the shield) but I had an amazing time playing. I loved getting to choose abilities for the next round and how the game slowed down while you were choosing so it felt pretty tactical even though I guess you'd technically say it is an action game. One thing I would consider adding in the future is some mechanic where you gain power over time even when you die so that old people with slow reflexes can get to see the later levels and the end screen (if there is an end). Overall fantastic experience - great job y'all!

Thank you so much for playing, and for your feedback!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the mechanic, and I agree that there is some balancing issues in general.
The levels and many of the abilities were thrown together in the final hours of the jam, so there’s some real refinement to be made.
If we explore this game more, we’ll keep your thoughts in mind - thanks again!
