The game reminds me of Nuclear Throne, but with sluggish movement and no rewards for breaking objects like boxes. You can get a rare health pickup from defeating an enemy once in awhile (though during my bad luck I couldn't even get a single one, my second wave through level 1 to 4. Most annoying moment was killing the boss after level 8, having them drop the only health pickup for the whole run so far, and the level finishing before I could pick it up. That was quite infuriating).
My main gripe is the movement speed, since I can't get used to the two seconds delay between me trying to move away from a projectile and the player character actually doing it. Gets me killed constally by things that I had the reaction speed to notice, but just wasn't fast enough to even avoid.
I have to play this like Wolfenstein 3D, ducking in and out of hallways, lest I be caugth out in the open and die due to these tank controls.
I mostly enjoy this game, but something so fundamental as movement being so restrictive, really limits the amount of control I feel to have over my deaths.

Dirtpickle responds:

I guess its not intuitive but when you beat a level you can toggle the end menu up so that you can collect things you missed. Coins are automatically acquired at the end of the level. I was planning on implementing a bonuses such as movement speed. Perhaps the base speed should be raised. Thanks for your review. I'm constantly trying to improve this (its my first game) so any insight helps!

good game
