The amount of platforming mixed in with the actual shooting enemies part is excessive for my taste, I felt like it just kills the "trance" I would be in while killing enemies
That might depend on how you play. I get into flow state from platforming and shooting at the same time, and usually everything dies along the way or I do an additional cleanup after already getting through a section of a level. The jarring situation where enemies are killed first and the flow breaks down is a very useful insight. Thanks for playing.
