first and foremost, this is a much better game than the original archas. it functions much better as a videogame than all the games that came before it and it's a massive improvement overall. good job

however, i don't feel like you made the platformer/bullet hell combination work as well as it could've, and i think it's because of how the elements work separately.

with the platforming, the constant fast speed makes it hard to land jumps and the way the camera's positioned makes it hard to see what's underneath you and it just gets kind of annoying after a while. on the other hand i don't feel like there's that much of an incentive to use other attacks in the game other than just spamming m over and over, especially when there's no real punishment for dying since all that really happens is that you respawn at your last checkpoint. i also didnt really find the cards to be useful at all while playing neither.

the game's ok though. just needs a lot more work. glad you made it free as well lol
