    I applaud the game dev for breaking ground on a very challenging area of game development .A lot of work has been put into an original idea and concept - I don't think most people will understand what makes this game so cool - enemies that have used machine learning to move and fight.

    It takes a while to get use to the game physics, "floaty" as others mentioned, but it gets better as you progress, the different ring combos are fun to experiment, recommend for anyone who likes Dead cells or Hades.

    Interesting game. Unfortunately, it uses AI Generatet content. Yes it is from the early days but I will not support games with ANY AI generated content.
