oh wow i do not like the gameplay changes made to laix2 at all

i miss the stomp so much. getting out of the air is wayyyy slower without it

boosts don't recharge upon kicking enemies which means you can't pull of asgv2/laix1 infinite air combos :(

isn't the jetpack copen's main gameplay appeal. cmon. i wanna zip around. i want to clear entire levels without standing on the ground even once

PLEASE THE BOUNCING AROUND WAS THE BEST PART WHAT DO YOU MEAN ONLY ONE DASH IN THE AIR

also the bullet dash UI from asgv2/laix2 is way better than the meter one like the meter worked for gunvolt since his blast is a continuous thing but copen's dashes are very clear singular dashes

the sawblade is.. hmm.. i don't mind it very much. i'm sure it'll grow on me. having a close quarters weapon slots in nicely with copen's gameplay style, and lock-on still has its long range homing shots, so you don't really feel the lack of the standard shot

sawblades are also cool as hell

why'd they needlessly complicate copen's design like that tho. the white tiger jacket is an Iconic Look and i will mourn its sleekness. bulky boy.

well ig for the sequel they can go hats off on copen being a cyborg but there are better ways to integrate that into his design i think

no prevasion! this is honestly a fine choice. forces me to like. actually dodge things myself. it's clear inti doesnt wanna alienate filthy casuals either with the new infinite healing thing. prevasion is cooler than infinite healing though since it doesnt break the flow of gameplay

i just know i'll be too proud to use healing ever and i will die so so much

overall the changes to boosting make the gameplay feel way less fluid than laix 1. we'll see if i get used to it (since i already suck at laix1)

story's interesting, to start with. having the alternate universe sequel be set in.. another dimension.. is a choice, but it lays a nice mystery

like the first boss looking like specifically asgv1 copen with the big shield. and since this is a dimension populated exclusively by robots, and copen is shown to be capable of building sentient robots, and also used to be super occupied with the.. let's call it integrity of humanity.. hm. well it's a good story hook!

a lot of the gameplay changes confuse me though. we'll see!
