I think it improved since last time. Cannot remember everything however.

Initially i had a problem of collecting xp when i killed enemies just slightly above my jump height. The exp would just wobble around and never come to me. Upgrades are still weird as the player doesn't know what they are, except some bladders added orbiting  balls (but not always!). Also selecting upgrades with the keyboard would be great because the rest of the controls are keyboard only right now.

Had to look up the interact button for the portal, a little hint ingame would be nice.

Its nice that there are some invincibility frames once you are hit, which didn't send me into a deathloop like last time. However when spawning in a new level (or reviving), you can jump once in free fall. I guess thats a bug and you should only be able to jump from the ground?

Its still rough but the gameplay loop is somewhat visible now.

thank you for the feedback, I didn't even consider making items selectable from the keyboard good idea.

-Pressing up to shoot? is odd. Please add any sort of visual for the projectile/attack.

-Oh actually it's shot automatically like a VS like.

-After killing a boss, it looks like it respawns and falls from the sky, but dies in one hit.

-Blade balls are looking a little funky, I only have 4 while I bought like 7 upgrades. It is also 3 in a row then on more on the opposite side. I'd either expect a straight line of them or an equal spacing, not this.

-Movement seems too limited for the level? I'm stuck on the floor since I can't jump to the higher islands.

-Oh I guess I have to interact with the portal to go through it, though the first couple times I thought I just teleported to the top of the map, not a new one.

-Found a -8 hp crate, but I only have 8 HP, and it's letting me spam it to get infinite xp without losing anything.

Fought some more bosses but I guess that's it. It's been a long time since I played RoR, but I feel this prototype is lacking agency, if you don't plan on having abilities on cool down, then there needs to be some fun platforming or VS style powerups to switch it up or whatever. Keep up the good work.

thank you for the feedback, I see even without the bugs it's not intuitive what was happening

Guess I don't really understand how to play. I apparently have a rifle, although it doesn't seem to do anything. The little blue orbs that circled around me killed enemies when they collided (although sometimes enemies would die even without a collision). Most of the platforms are too high to jump on, so it doesn't look like I can move very far. At one point, I pressed down while on the ground, and I was immediately teleported to top of the level.

I think I know how to make this better thank you for the feedback
