• Not a fan of the music stopping when you take damage.
• Put some concurrency limits on the sound effects, Jesus Christ. Killing that huge swarm of enemies with a bomb in one of the challenges is permanent hearing damage territory.
• The blue hitbox doesn't stand out great. Maybe add a larger circle around it to make it easier to judge where it is at a glance.
• The shield boss's first phase lasts for too long compared to the second and is pretty repetitive.
• The design for the shield boss is really bland. Good enemy design can go a long way in making them more interesting and motivating to fight.

I have played a different version some months ago.

I do not know whether it is a bug, but in the first boss room, I might have gotten stuck in strafing mode, such that I only exited strafing mode while holding 'space' or 'shift'.

When I first entered the boss room, I had a huge number of charges, maybe 42. When I died and respawned (I had watched the boss battle on a stream, and I got much farther on my first attempt than the streamer's first attempt, in large part due to charge as well as seeing others try it), I ended up with many fewer charges, namely 10. I assume that is a bug. So I quit the game and tried from the beginning again, since having many charges would make it much easier.

On my third try (I aborted the second try very early on once I discovered that I only had like 10 charges), I managed to beat the shield boss. I had zero health/shields left. And 6 charges, apparently. I think I entered with 45 charges, so I might have spent 39 charges. Ignoring difficulty and when it should be encountered, I like the boss.

The controls and movement are atypical, and players need to get used to them first, so I think the boss should be weaker or a different boss should be there or something. Or longer training levels.

I like the levels a lot, aggression and offense is a necessary tactic in some of them.

I like the second boss, finished the battle with 4 shields. I did not use any special weapons (I think I had the axe weapon).

Now I am at the challenge zone.

I finished the 4 challenges, those were fun. There was no way to exit the challenge level selection from what I could tell, so I exited it by quitting the game and starting it again.

It would be nice if you could exit to the main menu instead of only exiting the whole game.

I barely managed to complete the "unfinished, unfair" level - the last part I just rushed past the enemies.

I liked it a lot overall, I do not know if I would have been able to defeat the first boss using just 10 charges though.

i had fun!
looks nice, movement is smooth and combat is nice. really liked how punchy the main weapon feels

my only gripe would be the music in the boss fights it feels a little dull fo something that should be epic and intense

Wasn't expecting this level of polish when I saw this game posted on /agdg/. 

I don't have many complaints at all, this is damn good stuff. My only real gripes are:

- The game hands out subweapon points like hotcakes and the fact that every subweapon seems to use up only one doesn't really incentivize the player to use them creatively, as it's pretty easy to just spam them

- The boss fights could be a tad tedious; switching up their attack patterns a bit could be nice. Then again, this is presumably early-game content, so maybe it would be best to save more complex bosses for later on

- The soundtrack was a bit bland 

Other than that, yeah I really like this. Keep it up

robotemplar is always a fun time

i played through it again using KBM. i tried the outer walls and the challenge modes this time around

the gobbo run mode was fun, but a bit simple. i was about to clear the whole thing in 1 go. i didn't like how some paths (ex: choke points between rooms) required me to hit a -1 time box. if the player has to hit them, may as well just reduce the total time by that amount instead, since presenting the player with a "bad choice" and giving him no options to avoid it is generally always annoying (for me, at least)

the PAT mode was hard, but it was a fun challenge. i wasn't able to beat it, though

the pacifist mode i couldn't figure out, i got blocked by that plant. i dont have the head for puzzlegames, so i assume im being a brainlet

for the outer wall levels: i don't like having the floor, well, *there* for the anti meteor shields. getting into them often times meant Deus Vult Man will begin walking since i accidentally touched the ground, killing my momentum. i don't know what solution you could implement here without just getting rid of the floor and making it some space section thing, though.

something i noticed that's new to me was that taking damage would pause/freeze the game for .5 seconds. this felt awful and im unsure if this is a deliberate change or a bug. it feels like an error, and i don't remember this being in the previous version i played. i don't mean that the player would be invulnerable or something - the whole game would stutter for some time, then would proceed as normal. no clue what that's about

there were some menu shenanigans, and the game doesnt like me alttabbing - the character would enter a non-stop-shooting mode, but aside from that nothing was particularly awful

keep in mind im a KBM warrior, so my opinions are really not the ones you should read for balance suggestions or such things. 

either way, fun as always. i would consider at this point to have an option setting in the menu, since i dont like having to wait to be ingame before lowering sound/music, especially when i know it'll be loud. music also reset it's volume (to be louder?) when i first accessed the volume options.

keep up the good work

I liked this game very much. Some feedback:

* Subweapon tutorial states the key for using it is x when its z in the keyboard (also it works with right mouseclick, but I dont think I saw click functions mentioned)

* "Are you worthy to be  mankind shield?" should really be "mankind's"
