Closed window to do other things. Opened window. Game progress reset to start, bank account still shows money but won't let me spend it. Part one was such a great game. Instead of listening to users, tried to make a money grab and we got this piece of shit.
Not crazy about the mechanic, but at least it's something different. My problem is no variety. You have the same enemies over and over, just more HP every level. And I found the whole thing really easy until the last boss.
Holy water, axe and other "kill all" items don't actually kill everything they hit. Occasionally had bonus items that didn't give the bonus when collected. Unable to collect more than 6 hearts. No quest progress indicator in levels. Impossible to kill green guys, 3 at a time. Upon getting holy water quest, literally did not see holy water bonus item for 8 subsequent runs. OMG the aiming. Sitting on top of an enemy sprite and it's shooting at a crate half a screen away. My max upgraded main weapon takes 3 hits to kill an owl grunt when there are 15 onscreen at a time. Final boss was a joke - didn't even lose a heart.
I love shooters, but on the annoying scale, this is right up there with the Papa Pizzaria stuff.
The coin pickup mechanism is terrible - before the shop item I get maybe 1 in 4 coins I earned. With the item, maybe 3 of 4 earned. For a game this grindy, the level to level process is way too slow. Slow falling bonuses with no magnet make it annoying to retrieve without dying. Your powerup guns should never be weaker than your main weapon. Combination of slow bonuses with short aiming range of weapon and floor spikes make it impossible to retrieve rewards from what you shoot.
This has to be a repeat BOTD. I came and saw I already had the achievement. There's no way I would have done this at any point in the past without a carrot at the end of the stick.
If the developer was smart, they'd respond to overwhelming commentary that the game is laggy and leaky instead of saying "you're all obviously wrong because it runs fine on mine".
Hate this game. It's like a bullet hell shooter except your controls are sluggish, you can't upgrade anything to the point at which it feels like it makes a difference and every bullet is nearly as big as you are.
