I like the lore most, lol. Aqua is a badass warrior. My run really hung on his shoulder, lol. I think the checker movement could be refined more. Like when i kill the enemy, i was like oh my god my character auto moves too forward to enemy territory, but then i can press backward to pull him back again like it is not matter. i prefer if it is matter so i can strategize more. Also , the game can benefit from more vfx and sfx added. Good submission, man! Love it!
