Very promising concept, but there is a strange tendency to just skip a half a second at a time and essentially teleport me into a group of monsters and force me to take damage while trying to get out of the group, which can easily kill runs regardless of skill, and really ruins the game for me. If this is because of lag spikes, then the lag spikes are not due to lack of hardware power, as my pc should be far stronger than this game needs to run. The upgrade options also feel kinda meh, since so many of them require you to make significant sacrifices to get buffs that are often not worth the sacrifice. The hitboxes on the head popping out of the ground attacks feel kinda cheap to me, since just walking away from where they are does not work, requiring dodging out of the way, but, later in the game, there are typically so many that you can't possibly dodge often enough to escape.
