Feels great even in browser!  The dodge roll is so satisfying.  I died to the ice boss, I think the ice projectiles don't contrast the background enough personally. 

Could you make a button or smth in the upgrades menu that says what each upgrade does bc I don't know what most of them actually do, also with the upgrades from bosses, I don't know what any of them do so smth like a bit of text saying what they do below each upgrade would be helpful.

Also the More?  button still needs to be updated (has controls that aren't in the game anymore and does not display the new controls) the tutorial also is not updated.

I really like this game, it’s a lot of fun and the art is great. On the Jotun boss fight, the blue triangle projectiles are hard to see against the blue floor, which can make them hard to dodge with the others things going on. Also, it might be good to make the projectiles disappear when the boss is defeated, because I beat Jotun but then was killed by a projectile that I couldn’t see under the souls. This is a really impressive game, though. Great Job!

the game has potential, but the primary issue that makes it hard to enjoy is that the player needs to repeatedly click to fire the pistol, when every enemy takes several shots to dispatch with it. if you could click and hold for continuous fire it'd make the game flow a lot more smoothly.

Thank you, I have changed it to where holding fire will make the pistol continuously shoot.

nice game, like it.
just think my finger would die if I didnt have an auto clicker :-/
