I'll mark this positive because i hugely appreciate Kay Yu and the team behind this, releasing this as a free game is a chad move. However i do think this game has some issues that is putting me off from playing.

I've only played Botan so far but her move-set feels really clunky, moving while attacking makes it so it will always fire at its slowest speed so you need to stand still, that's bearable but the whole reload thing just feels bad combined with the fact you can't dodge out of it just ruins her, micromanaging ammo so you don't hit 0 in a beat em up just isn't right.

The bosses are nice, i've hit a wall with Botan on Lui-nee because of the things i've mentioned above, combined with my poor skills, so at this point i'd usually take a break and come back a bit later and try again, or just smash my head against the boss till i win, but i can do neither - my next point.

Losing is just too punishing, losing ALL your coins feel, forgive my language, ♥♥♥♥♥. I would understand losing some, but not all, this combined with the fact you get placed in X-3 of the 5 stages, so you need to go through -3 -4 and -5 where the boss is to challenge the boss again, well, yeah, hate it, just put us at the beginning of 5 with the items we had when we started 5 before.

And then the other thing - you can't save progress, you quit the game you need to start from the beginning, this is terrible and will stop me from playing, as mentioned above if i hit a wall i will take a break, but if i do that here i have to do ALL the stages again. This is a terrible decision and needs to change. In a game like Holocure with meta progression and short rounds not being able to continue makes sense, but not here where a full run might take a couple hours or more.

Another thing i'd like to request is a Mini-UI above my character, because you are focused on your character and there's a lot of screen space it's easy to completely ignore your health and skill meters (On that note, the skill cooldowns need to be clearer, it's hard to tell when some skills are on CD), so a few small circles and bar above our character would feel great.

That's all my feedback from playing for a few hours, the art, soundtrack, references and everything are sublime so i'd love to see everything else come to par.

Thanks.
