RE: Contest! Win one of 10 copies of Nex Machina
Sounds really cool - can you remember the name of the game? Thanks for the comment.

The game was actually a wc3 mod called "Black Forest 1.00". I image there would be a lot of reservation for a triple A title doing something like ridiculing the player as they may consider it too polarizing. To me it was just refreshing like the game had a lot personality, I could just be weird though
For a genre like bullet hell/twin stick I think it would be well received as the audience tends to be more enthusiast/hardcore.
In general the topic of tutorials/easy mode is a challenge for many developers. For games with appreciable learning curves, being less binary in the learning process was a welcome new experience I had.
Outside of that meta gameplay thought, I'm not really sure what big gameplay elements I'd like to see. I think the game is probably a candidate for speed running, so having a lot of tiny things to optimize like rewarding accuracy/not taking damage could be interesting. Also a mechanic like having your gun do slightly more damage at closer range such that you have to play faster and riskier to earn those super good clears might be cool.
