Did you make all these models and particle systems yourself? They look really really nice, I just assumed they were 3rd party.
What I meant is that games feel weird if they look super nice but are lacking in other aspects. I get disappointed much easier if I had a very hard time playing a game that looks super nice because it is not very accessible, has weird controls or is buggy. I like it when all parts of the game is on equal level.
Feels like you managed to make tons of systems and stuff in this game, huge effort. I guess it might have been some overscoping there too, it is very hard not to do. In some games we setup a list of what to cut from the design to handle it, but man it's hard :D
Sorry if I'm being obnoxious here, that's not at all my intention.
You put a ton of effort into this, I'll try and give it another shot.
