Game mechanics

With only 8 directional movement and a single action button we achieved a deep gameplay experience:

• Proximity damage multiplier: The closer you get, the harder you hit.
• Charge attack: Stop shooting to charge, shoot to unleash the an attack that cleans bullets in it's way.
• Parry: Press the shoot button right before getting hit to parry.
• Parry dash: After a successful parry, keep the shoot button pressed for a short invulnerability time and speed boost.
• Damage proration: On hit, the player activates a shield that lowers the next hits damage.
