This game is solid, definitely worth buying on a sale. And as impressive as it is that this game was made by just one guy, it also shows flaws and friction that could've been easily fixed in the 2 years this game has been out.
- The story is pretty dull and generic
- A lot of boss's behavior is hard to predict, not enough telegraphing sprites, move speed is inconsistent, sometimes enemy projectile blends with background, or the enemy just spawns projectiles without apparent animation
- Using parts/currency for heals instead of heat/mana is questionable at best. I bought chips right before a boss battle and now I don't have anything to heal with during the fight, now I have to grind small mobs. (I would add a chip/perma-upgrade that lets you use heat if you run out of spare parts)
- The world is awkward and clunky to traverse, could do with shortcuts as it gets annoying getting to last collectibles/npcs/etc.
- A lot of accidental sequence skips, unintentional-feeling paths and stuff like that. Also managed to miss several major upgrades and had to backtrack.
