Yeah, we noted the mixing issue a bit after finally uploading the game, haha
May make a small update to adjust that.
The shield seems to be malfunctional, I had this happen to me every now and then too.
And the red - Every three strikes, a certain something happens.
And I fully agree about the pauses..! I'd love for this to feel more like an adventure. It feels more like a boss rush (which's cool too haha)
That all being said, thanks so much for the compliments!!!!
