Codex Solis: Purrgatorium

early stage but it’s already trying something interesting fast paced space shooter but with this weird cat cards + territory thing going on kinda chaotic but in a good way, feels like it has real potential if they polish it

I kept dying at first but after getting the hang of it its actually pretty easy and fun. Graphics are nice and very eye candy. Satisfying explosions. Especially loved the optional pixelate and crt effects. (For some reason they are under gameplay settings and not graphic settings.) Sfx could be better. Music fits well with the action. Gave me Doom Eternal vibes at some points. Weird story. The collective writing part is gonna need a lot more players to be fun. Currently its empty. Also, seems like there is a bug with Saturn. I cant orbit it the way other i can orbit other planets. My xbox controller worked with it (in the space battles). But for orbit & verse writing, there is no on screen keyboard, so mouse & keyboard is needed there.

This game is so strange! I still have no idea how to play it, after playing for some time... I keep forgetting where I get the cats for "poetry" combat. I don't know where the "safe zone" is; you get the safe zone message when you get a lot of damage, and game becomes barely playable with all those screen glitches. Sometimes you one shot your enemies and don't get any notable damage for minutes; sometimes they one shot you, and I can't always figure out why. But the concept of weird combat with space entities, plus poetry, is quite appealing.
