Thank you for playing! Glad you enjoyed it!
System Shock definitely was one of the major inspirations for us, though we tried our best for it not to be too obvious. And for sure we will work on making tutorial and checkpoints post-jam... we did explain mechanics by text on our game page after we saw how many people struggled at the start, but I mean... its not ingame, so it only can help a little in that regard (tbh, who reads it anyway? :D). There are bunch of things we can and should improve on for sure! Including some that we had no time to implement and it kind of not helping with understanding the game mechanics bit...
As for how tutorial about dodging would look like.. we will need to think about it a bit more so it won't stand out from theme too much. We have couple of ideas, but they need a bit of work and testing to make sure it would fit right in. We will try our best to make it good, of course!
