Game is still very fun. Nice improvement over last DD. You've definitely found a good gameplay loop here.
Minor complaints:
- Some attack telegraphs don't go to the edge of the screen which makes them read as if they won't travel far when they really do.
- Leveling up stats doesn't immediately update the stat sheet.
- I have no idea what "Speed" is. I assume it affects cooldown on skills but it might also mean movement speed? Ended up never leveling it out of fear of becoming uncontrollably fast.
- A way to view spell stats would be nice. Some spells only interact with "Basic spells" but I'm not positive which those are.
- Shield might be a bit busted or possibly bugged. It seemed to give me full health when activated and never lost a run once I acquired it.
- Might need another pass for optimization. Had some stuttering on the later stages. Got particularly bad with chain lighting + ball lighting+ self chaining+ overdrive.
- The X on the character select screen causes the game to hang.
Other than these its great. Put some basic animations in and you're golden. If you add a graze mechanic I'm going to blow my load.
