This game is really similar to our original vision with Shanty Quest. We wanted to be able to combine items you received into new abilities. It was ultimately scraped because we thought it lead to too much complexity, and I think this game might suffer from that problem as well. It's unfortunate because I really think this is one of the most fun games I've played so far and it didn't need all that headache. The combat feels great and the boss fight is awesome (if a bit unpredictable with its lasers). Also the main menu listing all the controls is much appreciated. Nice work!
