I know I read stuff about the, but could not wrap my head fully around the toxic/gilded system, which otherwise could a nice balance mechancis, sadly I got knowledge checked and it was just a restart the game mechanic. Combat felt okay, the new skills from the flame thing were a nice addition to the otherwise boring click shotgun, click attack, click time loop that youhad to do on every enemy.
Graphics wise overall the game has a nice retro look to it, I personally did not like holo effect of the second character flashing all the time on an off, having the horizontal lines move left and right would be probably a much smoother experience on the eyes.
SFX and mx were nice, well done on those.
Overall neat concept, well done!
