The truth is that the control is very satisfactory and also how you throw fire is certainly fun. You could put VampireSurvivors style elements and it would be very good, it is a very scalable project like the theme haha
Glad you liked the controls! We aimed for "light Survivors" elements but we didn't want to go overboard as it's full of these games lately IMHO :P so we stayed a bit more "arcade-y" if that makes sense. Thanks for your comment!
