The UI is an utterly confusing and cluttered, inefficient nightmare, and the battle pacing can easily get you killed if you're not fast enough. An auto-pause when one of the bars fills would be greatly appreciated.
Some interesting ideas, but still needs work.
There are several design flaws that make this less than enjoyable:
1) The auto-switching of weapons upon picking up ammunition. I am in agreeance with irrimn. Either make a toggle or leave it on the pistol.
2) It is absolutely horrendous that the only source of cash in the game is via those bags. You need to give a small amount for kills too, or provide some other consistent method for income. That or lower the prices of the weapons and upgrades.
3) Picking up items mid-air would be good.
For now, 1/5 for this time waster. Good ideas, but they seem executed in a sub-par manner.
While the gameplay feels familiar, it works to this games favor. The beautiful aesthetic style and hack 'n' slash gameplay make for a great combination! Keep up the great work!
Happy to have you onboard the Akaneiro fan train.. toot toot !!!
