Developer notes :

• Play style 

  • During the many tests phases, I discovered an interesting way the player can interact with the bullet.
    - The player can catch a bullet they threw if they are fast enough

• UI

  • Bullet Count used to be beside the shield bar. However it was removed in the latest update.

    • Reason for removal was that upon play-testing the latest builds, the count has become redundant 

    • Another reason was to make the the remaining bar instantly understandable, therefore in its place icons of what the bars were was introduced instead
       

  • The Difficulty Meter was initially introduced to give the player a sense of how difficult the current stage of the game was 

    • The difficulty meter turned out to be more for a viewer watching the player then for the player themselves as such
