As always, I am in awe of your skills. This is a fantastic entry.
One tiny suggestion I have would be allowing the player to move/strafe while still pointing up. Any time you aim up, it locks your left/right movement in place. And that threw me off a few times at the beginning. May just be a personal thing, though.
Overall, I absolutely love the game. Will be coming back to it after I finish rating all other games. I wanna know what that secret is! Made it to the spider phase and had a 1% wipe. But I gotta know!
(Also, a very big thank you for answer my questions on Discord. I tried many of your suggestions and I feel like it made a huge difference in the quality of my game this round. Even acknowledged you on my dev log! Cheers!)
