thanks for playing! that's some great and useful feedback. since I might make an additional update, would you mind me asking further about some of your points?
- can you explain what you mean more by the hud? is it that the dark red bar had a confusing purpose?
- that confusion makes a lot of sense! maybe I should add some feedback or additional instruction. between adding an explanation somewhere in the game or visual feedback, do you feel like you have a preference? (also: the red shots are indeed weaker and score less! though not by a lot- I didn't want it to be too punishing)
- i'm glad the narrative side of that boss came through at least! maybe it wouldn't harm the narrative too much to make it a bit cooler :) I was a bit conflicted on it myself!
I'm really glad you enjoyed the game, and thank you for the excellent praise!
