This game is highly based on the combat itself, the mechanics, mixing up some shmup and some versus game vibes feels unique to me.So How Does It Play Actually?You can attack the enemy at ANY TIME, no need to wait for a pattern ending or stuff like that, but if you don't play carefully, obviously you're going to get slashed, so it's up to you to put your own combat strategy, since there are always many ways to beat your opponent.- bullets can be blocked with shield, that you activate by holding opposite arrow (down, left or right) just like a versus game in topdown view, it is actually very intuitive here. (there you'll be able to parry some bullets too when you the upgrade ability.)- floor power waves (enemy generates on landing after jump/fly move) can be dodged by jumping (this dash jump moves won't let you pass through bullets although, it is still very useful to move fast and pass through some bullet hell situations.- enemy head/sword attacks can get blocked with the shield too, but since they usually slam you back in the wall, it's sometimes better to dodge by jump away to avoid
