I like the style and play of the game, but I do have a few suggestions:

There seems to be too few health drops, leading to death by the "heretic" bats. This point is especially troubling when paired with the next issue.

The movement is a little clunky. A bit less start-up time for running would be nice, as it feels too slow to get moving once stopped.

For the upgrade menu, I have gotten the same upgrade for all three slots. Perhaps ensuring that no duplicates appear would be good.

The electric field is too small to be immediately useful, leading to a worse off position. I believe increasing its starting range would help it.

All in all, though, good work so far. Hopefully, some of the issues could be addressed without too much hassle on your end.

electric aura is a cool idea, you could probably make another game just about it. i enjoyed playing the game, but i feel like some effects are too much and makes reading text more difficult

Thanks for the feedback, I'm glad to hear you've enjoying playing it! Definitely will be looking into the effects so the readability isn't compromised as that is a big deal

Hey, this is a fantastic game!

I loved the narrative, especially the "Fear of the Dark" reference.

I have some feedback:

It would be nice to have the option to remove the old tv post-processing, it looks weird on a big curved monitor.
I got some skill upgrades duplicated, and it should be unique to give the players more options
Do the enemies stop chasing the player if they are too far away? It feels unnatural.
The player could have some initial projectile, independent of the initial upgrade.
What does the heart pickup do?
Destructible objects could be more apparent

I also have a pretty similar game, and I'd love to hear your opinion!

Here's the link.

Cheers!

Those are some very valid points you bring, for sure some I'd like to improve on some of them. The blue "heart" is actually a random powerup you get that gives you a temporary boost in speed, damage, etc - It should be more apparent when there are more enemies on screen.

And I'll be checking out your game for sure, thanks for the comment!

Aura is INSANE if you buff it up... and the game most DEFINITELY does not want to to reach 20 minutes:D
