Wow. This might be the first time I ever make such a request but… Please add a photosensitivity warning in game. I do not suffer from epileptic seizures, but I’m sure someone is going to get a seizure from this game if you don’t add a warning.
The upgrade UI is outright terrible - Purchasing upgrades should not be an exercise in frustration. You need to reduce the physics for the ‘bounciness’ of the upgrade boxes. Significantly. Or add a button to freeze the upgrades page so you can actually read the tooltips and click on things without having to wait multiple seconds for the page to calm the hell down.
The upgraded arrows should have a different graphic/effect prior to the hit effect - This serves a couple of purposes, firstly, it gives a visual indicator that an explosion is coming. The shinier the arrow in flight, the bigger the explosion will be; Secondly, it makes the value of the related upgrades more obvious during gameplay without relying on headache-inducing graphical effects.
Settings - Never have I ever wanted a setting to mute, reduce graphical effects, or reduce extreme tedium in basic gameplay mechanics as much as I do right now. There are games out there that are designed to be frustrating and they are more or less marketed as such. Here’s one that isn’t. (And quite frankly shouldn’t be so frustrating)
Content - I’ve played quite a few jam entry games and this one is honestly one of the less impressive in terms of total content. I really would like to see a lot more going on here.
Overall, I’d give this one an honest 3/5. There’s some potential here, but good gods of gaming… I gotta put this one down due to the headache it’s given me. I won’t be back, but I hope others enjoy this one more than I did.
