Hi LordOfLemon!
I am a huge fan of the music in this game. Love me some metal!
I didn't seem to find a way to get the stick mechanic to work, but in theory it sounds really cool and novel. I'm sure I was just too inept!
I think the parallax background makes it a little tough to focus on enemies. I get that it fits with your aesthetic, but I found it distracting. Something as simple as changing the color could solve that issue, and of course many may not see it as an issue at all.
Super fun game! Good luck in the rest of the jam!
Best,
