I defeated the King of Yunalco with ease muhahaha.
I enjoyed the bullet hell gameplay, but I didn't like the card combining cards mechanics that much. I thought it was somewhat boring and unimaginative. There's also a few UI bugs with the cards, like I got stuck on the crafting menu when the confirm dialog box didn't appear. I was able to exit the menu but when I turn it back on the dialog box is there and never disappears again. The card stats can also have duplicates like having both addition and subtraction of the same stats on the same card fragment.
The visuals are nice. I like many of the effects in the game. I would liked to have seen clearer and more direct visual indicators for the exits.
The music is good and I enjoyed the drum sound effects, although it could use some pitch shifting or variations. I also think that many other parts of the game should have better sound effects, like hitting the enemies etc.
One thing that I usually see with these kinds of games is the fact that they almost always require the players to hold down a button to shoot. I kinda really don't get it because I just find myself never want to stop shooting, so it's just an extra thing you have to do without much thought. Maybe because I'm not a big player of the genre and it's the standard or something but I really would have liked to see devs just start making automatic shooting.
This may also be just a matter of taste but the writing wasn't a strong point for me. She mentioned the word "job" about 20 times😭
Itch page has a nice background but the transparency makes the text a little bit hard to read.
It's a solid entry and I enjoyed it.
