I had heaps of fun with this! My first few runs did feel a bit grindy, but once I was familiar with the map and had a few upgrades I was really enjoying running (and sliding) around and shooting enemies.I thought the Ominous Voice had a lot of personality, and really helped make the loops feel meaningful. I'm also a sucker for upgrade games, and noticed the ledge just at the cave entrance, so keep dying on purpose to get my jump force high enough to climb up and over it... I would have loved if there was an easter egg up there... but instead I think I just ended up falling off the edge of map! :D
