- Shooting for movement and shooting at enemies felt like it was at odds to each other at times - after a while I just kept ascending instead of fighting back most of the time, leaving enemies behind because shooting back meant that my mobility goes down and becomes harder to control.
How much enemy skipping are we talking? Unless the movement/shooting conflict is too obnoxious I'd say it's intentional as long as you aren't just tanking damage. The level even has a few forks and optional segments. Thanks for playing!
