DESIGN GOALS FOR COMBAT

​

  • Bullets should not totally overwhelm the player -- they should be manageable enough to deal with

  • Players should always use enemy bullets against them in smart ways to defeat them

​

ABILITIES OVERVIEW

​

  • Dash: Avoid damage by dashing through and away from enemy projectiles​​

  • Deflect: Parry enemy bullets away to deal damage

  • Tether: Pull enemy bullets towards you to create a combo with Deflect, enhancing that move

  • Freeze: Build a meter up to freeze time and redirect or dodge an overwhelming amount of bullets
