It felt the difficulty ramped up super quickly and I got a horde of 15 demons destroying me at some point haha.
Nice game, the epic music is also neat. Imagine what this guy would do if he had his glasses.
I would definitely play this if it came to Steam as a full game!
I love the art style, the enemies do highlight cons and pros of each of the powers, and it does take to be constantly moving around to defeat enemies. I think the premise rocks of the "Bullet Heaven" game here. Oh and it would be helpful if the track did loop after it ends. It is cool and matches the vibe, but after the track ends it feels less epic and more silent with all that slaying going!
Also i liked the bug that inverting you hp bar with you character sprite)

I think my issue with this entry is that it didn't do anything that's different from VampSurvivors game design-wise.
I liked it! Although I reeeeally wished there was a speed upgrade, at least after getting all the other upgrades. I liked the upgrades we have though, like maxing blades felt pretty cool :) good one!
The movement feels annoyingly slow, which would be ok if it was upgradable but it is not.
The go-deeper mechanic seems to conflict with the green dots you have to pick up. There doesn't seem to be any reason to move downwards and doing so means you will be leaving the points behind. It feels a tacked on afterthought.
I tried just following the arrow, reached the glasses easily and was still level 0. I'm guessing that was supposed to be a goal, but it feels like it just kills you as the end card is the same.
