Yeah, I do agree. The idea was that the deflect mechanic would come in handy for dealing with projectiles, but that mechanic was added suuper last minute, so I didn't properly balance it and as such it isn't super handy to deflect 4 projectiles all at once especially if some circle back from behind you haha. On hindsight, yeah I agree being able to shoot them out of the sky or some other way of dealing with them would be a lot better. Thanks for your feedback and for playing!
lol I forgot abt deflecting so that's on me, but I think if anything both should be in the game, since shooting is a safer way of dealing with them, while parrying will allow some risk/reward with extra damage from the deflection, score if it were to be added in the future, etc. both something like that but ya no problem man
