Pleasantly surprised

This game's demo is pretty short but is honestly really fun. I'm looking forward to the addition of magic characters. Some of my critics for this game are the following;

(1) some wave tiers seem unbalanced, some enemy types move so fast compared to the player character (spiders, Gladiators/rouge human enemies). The armored enemies are also kind of annoying to kill, they are really tanky.

(2) The arena seems kind of small for the amount of enemies that show up. The barrier color, and size, is also hard to see for someone who is colorblind to red/green (me lol, I keep running into it).

(3) Not sure if I didn't unlock something, but when choosing your human hero not one of them came with proficiency for the other bow types, only short bows. I rerolled around 100 times to test it but nothing showed up. I believe this puts you at a disadvantage if you choose any bow besides the solar one. This also leads me to my next critic.

(4) For archer builds investing into anything besides attack speed seems counter productive. I tried the Lunar bow and primal bow but they attack way slower than the solar bow. While they do more base damage that doesnt really seem to matter once you are 3-4 minutes into a run doing thousands of damage with crits. You lose more damage by not choosing the bow (solar) with 1.25 default attack speed. Maybe try adding more synergy skill cards with elemental types because base damage doesn't justify using them.

I only tried archer builds so far so I can't comment on melee character builds but I'll probably try a few runs later today. I'm really looking forward to the future of your game, I'm a sucker for these rougelite/ARPG/vampire survivor style games. I also suggest removing the nudity from the steam version here, and have a patch on a website to download. That will allow you to avoid the puritan filter that the Valve security team places on animated nudity (unreal 4 porn games don't get that nudity label).

Glad to hear you liked it, and thanks for the feedback!

2. I'll try to figure out something for this. There are definitely other things too that are hard to distinguish from each other if you have colorblindness and could use improvement.

3. I think you are misunderstanding how the origins/proficiencies work (don't worry, nobody else understands them either). If you go to the game menu -> game guide -> proficiencies, it explains them in detail. Also, you can check the collection from the bottom left corner to see what origins have been unlocked and what they contain.

4. Bows also generate different amounts of energy that feed into proccing your power ability. Titan Bow (frost bow) might be a bit slower, but it has the same energy-per-second generation as, for example, the Fiery Short Bow but has highest damage per second of any bow. As you mentioned, there are also more abilities in the full version that synergize with different damage types.

You can turn off the nudity from in-game settings, and we're currently investigating if turning it off by default would allow us to drop the adult rating.
