game is hard as balls. controls and mechanics are very confusing at first but with every retry you learn more about them, only thing i dislike is the arena being too small it rly makes the game harder than it should be

I really wanted to like this game because of the visuals, but I just can't find the twin-stick controls and trying to focus on two things while moving a shifting play area around enjoyable. It's a shame, because the visuals and style are a 10/10, but the controls just plain aren't fun for me., and that's why I can't recommend it.
