I don't think I ever really got hit so there wasn't much of me personally engaging with the mechanic, but I think the upgrades are all really smooth and the game is pretty dang juicy. I think the juice is the best aspect of the game so I wanna elaborate on that a little further! Personally my biggest gripes were freeze frames happening a bit too often (you can REALLY feel it when you have one or more ricochet upgrades, it feels like the game is running poorly when really it's just a LOT of freeze frames happening in actions that you aren't super in control of) and I think the audio for shooting was pretty repetitive (the easiest fix for this is a subtle pitch randomization each time the effect is played). Lastly, I thought the xp not having a sound when it reached you was definitely a missed opportunity as I think it would've felt pretty awesome to walk into a bunch of xp otherwise, although it was also a tad unresponsive in going towards you imo. Overall though, this was an awesome entry, with some nice style to it. Sick job!
