Yeah, it could definitely use some balancing especially towards the end of the game. If you play it right, you can face-tank the boss without any issues. I was going for a bit of an old-school shareware vibe where this would be the first episode and there would be another 2-3 that get progressively more difficult, just like playing Doom, Heretic, Duke Nukem, etc.
Auto-aim I think is doable, just wasn't something I thought about. For auto-reload, are you thinking it should do that if you try to fire and you're clip is empty? I think I'd like something more like gun mods from DRL or Jupiter Hell so you can customize the weapon would be a nice addition
Thanks for playing and the comments!
