To preface this, I enjoyed my time with the combat in this demo and I love the aesthetic but I found it difficult to actually finish it, which doesn't bode particularly well for a full release.

I know the likely response to a criticism like this is "git gud" or something similar, but I found the checkpoints (or lack thereof) to be very harsh. The fact that I reached as far as the double barrel super shotgun but still started at the initial spawn room was a bit too punishing for my liking. A lack of checkpoints would work if levels were shorter but right now losing as much progress as I do after a single death feels demotivating. (I could be missing something very obvious here though.)

Also I found that the laser gun either doesn't have enough ammo or doesn't do enough damage and I'm unsure which one would make the weapon more fun to use while still being balanced.

Besides these complaints however, I overall enjoyed this demo and I hope to see improvements to these two things. I particularly love the feel of the grenade launcher.
