The soundtrack is honestly great I found myself wanting to keep playing just to hear the next track despite dieing lots of times. The timer mechanic since it acts as your life it feels a bit stressful and it get's deducted when using skills or dieing. I also liked that you can customize the controls the only thing I expected was maybe clearer instructions for the buttons at the start, because it took me a second to figure some things out. PS for new players: press S to start or confirm/select things that one got me at first 😄1 found this helpful
