(Keyboard felt a little faster movement, though that could very well be psychological rather than mechanically true).\nLet's start with the things I didn't like: There is one rock pattern both times I'm pretty sure I didn't quite have the built in speed in order to clear without taking damage. Knowing I need to fire an arrow to deal with one demon, but using 2 arrows since another demon was nearby felt bad. The \"edges\" of rocks sometimes hurt me, other times I passed through fine. Things I found odd: A timer for a game where I fell at a set rate. Things I liked: Getting the weaving just right between thin rocks, as well as dodging \"towards\" the path the demons are coming from. The resource management, and firing an arrow when I \"know\" a demon is unavoidable. The ending was a fun twist (even if it contradicts what the arrows did before...) Thanks for sharing!
