  1. Melee focused and manual attacking? Sounds great.

    Also that's some very pretty pixel art.

    Edit: after watching a bit more, I do wish they'd make manual attacks meaningfully different from auto attacks in other bullet heavens. Currently it looks like you'd want to spam attacks as fast as possible at all time, which is just auto attacks with extra steps.

    Otherwise this looks very promising for a demo.

  2. Taking the Vampire Survivors formula and layering on more player agency, diablo-style loot and Hades style narrative delivery and boons sounds like a winning combination to me. This looks like a blast, and I will definitely be checking itout!

  3. I love how this looks
    The art look great
    it seems at least a bit more creative then other games in this genre
    plus it has some challenge, something that not all games in this field has, I'm quite heavily anticipating the release of this
    (Another great looking game I've found thanks to wander into my wishlist)

  4. Wonder I have not seen a comment yet and I do think you realized it already, but you move a lot slower while attacking no matter which character you were using.

    Edit: I think the dev/devs put a moving speed cap while attacking.

  5. Pretty sure the mage char has less hp/armor than the knight, thats why it looks like she takes more damage from hits, its either the hp bar doesn't represent the hp ammount correctly or ther is a hidden armor value.

  6. Nah, even if a game like this doesn't have bullets it can still be called a "bullet heaven". The same way that a souls-like has nothing to do with souls.

    Edit: <3

    Edit 2: I got a heart from Wanderbots and edited my comment to send a heart back… now it's gone. </3

  7. Love the casual gait of the main character, just strolling along slashin at things.

    This melding of different game mechanics is surprisingly smooth. Got behind games being best when doing one thing well but I'm pleased to be incorrect.

  8. I must say this game looks and feels amazing to play!
    It definitely has a lot of potential and room to expand further with the Diablo style items and the Hades style boon synergies.
    Keep up the great work <3

  9. You say you try any decent bullet heaven: Then it's time to check out Soul Survivors, which I already recommended to you in the past. There are three classes right now and all play very different with almost no overlap in their abilities.
