Feedback from giving this ten minutes:
- Wow, you need to be a seasoned pianist to play this on a laptop
- Visuals look quite nice, though I wish there was an option to disable the CRT effect scanlines and warping
- Sound not working here for some reason, tried two browsers. Works fine in other games.
- Not sure about the "commands". I think the entire mechanic is reducible to "mash LLLLLRLRRRRR periodically, make no mistakes". Using keyboard to fire at the cursor which you aim with the mouse feels extra clumsy.
- The total amount of mechanics seems a bit overwhelming. Maybe they can be introduced gradually somehow? E.g. there's three interstitial upgrade screens (level up point distribution, shop, freebie). Both shops and freebies offering both abilities and other types of upgrades feels like a bit of a mixed bag.
- Having to choose between upgrading stats or abilities seems awkward. Maybe that could be split into two currencies?
- Tutorial uses the word "permanent" but I don't think it carries into the next run which is what that usually means
Overall promising, maybe just needs a bit of structure!
