I think it improved since last time. Cannot remember everything however.
Initially i had a problem of collecting xp when i killed enemies just slightly above my jump height. The exp would just wobble around and never come to me. Upgrades are still weird as the player doesn't know what they are, except some bladders added orbiting balls (but not always!). Also selecting upgrades with the keyboard would be great because the rest of the controls are keyboard only right now.
Had to look up the interact button for the portal, a little hint ingame would be nice.
Its nice that there are some invincibility frames once you are hit, which didn't send me into a deathloop like last time. However when spawning in a new level (or reviving), you can jump once in free fall. I guess thats a bug and you should only be able to jump from the ground?
Its still rough but the gameplay loop is somewhat visible now.
