Was generally a smooth experience. Visuals and sounds are nice. I think the difficulty is fine by itself, but I also feel like the visual design communicates an easier game. I really liked the multi enemy arena fights.
The gauntlet with the rounded roof(station?) was too much for me. enemies are really aggressive and quick which made me feel like I didn't have enough time to prime them for a stun before more enemies arrive and it becomes insane. I'm nowhere near playing optimally however.
platforming pogo jumps feel good with a nice fair hitbox. I felt like shooting enemies need more telegraphing before the shot.
I've been seeing you post progress in the /v/ threads, and I've been looking forward to playing this. Wow, honestly, for a DD Demo, the game was incredible. The movement and general art aesthetic was like a lost 32X game. The combat is really neat, using a combination of bullets and melee. I look forward to more.
First time playing. I think I got softlocked at 13:15 when fighting the boss. Movement feels really good and all the art and music are beautiful. I’m guessing you probably need all the spiral coins to get Doctor Paloo, but I only found one... Also, if you do a long fall after bouncing from a shotgun blast you get 'stuck' in a smear frame. It looks fine if you fall a normal distance (16:27). It's probably just unfinished but mentioning it just in case.
thanks for playing and appreciate the bugs you found Will look into paloo not getting out of damage state animation. The smear one I'm aware and will fix, but its just a visual glitch for now. also fixed the music overlapping

After rewatching the VOD I agree that maybe background/foreground objects need to have a bit more contrast.
Other than that - very nice, very cool, extremely polished. Good stuff!
Thanks again for playing and the feedback!

It's colorful, polished and has sweet music.
