Thanks, I'm glad you liked it more this time.
I fucked up big time with the controller, I hope you didn't play with it all the way through with it because the kick doesn't even work properly as I forgot to rebind stuff. After some testing I decided to change movement to the left stick (at least until I find a better way for up/down input effects).
I need to be careful with bullet mode (and other recoil movements), as it can make the controls feel unresponsive in a jarring way when it activates by accident. There's a lot of leeway with preserving momentum and you can simply aim down for some time, but I think the practice level misrepresents it a bit - optimally you enter and exit out of it quickly to mix up with other moves giving you time to think and rest.
