This game's big issue is just a lack of polish-- It has lots of little issues that really detracted from the experience-- I kept getting stuck every time I died and no matter what I pressed it would not let me retry until I closed the game again and reopened it. Many times I would shoot a mask and get stuck after picking a card and the menu would never leave; and also in general the mask menu never pauses the game which means it sucks ass to grab Masks in the middle of a fight cuz' you just get owned unable to see the bullet patterns -- Which are mostly fine (sometimes a little too easy when you can just camp midair while shooting) but sometimes confusing (I still don't know how to avoid the jack in the box attack from the first boss).
That said the game's aesthetic has a lot of charm, I really like the menus and the 2D art of the main character, and I love the little Orca followers. The format on its own is also quite simple but engaging with the Masks giving you random powerups. I just really think this maybe needed to be scaled down a bit in content in exchange for more polish.
