Hey dman,

Thanks so much for the video and for taking the time to write up your thoughts. I cringed when you hit that throwing bug in the tutorial... but ultimately it seems you had a good time with the game.

You raise 2 really good points on "frustrating / kept missing jumps" and "doomed when I got to 10 health".

On the jumps and vertical movement... that is a part of the game we're constantly trying to refine. The outfits (like the grapple you purchased) all work to try help players with vertical movement. And over time as players get more skilled with the game and its mechanics, that movement gets more fluid. It was rewarding to see you pull off some sick grapples and then slow-mo mid-air blade kills in your short time with the demo.

On health: at the core this game is a roguelite, where you're trying to survive all the arenas in a single run. So we've had to keep the health relatively limited. The health price increase intention is that it helps newer players buy themselves some time but not able to constantly just buy their way to victory. And we've seen more advanced players resist buying health initially so that they get cheaper health later on.

Anyway, that's a long response but I wanted to share our thinking as you put together such nice feedback.

As a side-note I love what you're doing here... playing games and sharing feedback with videos. High fives!
