    You could always just make the roguelike part with crazy builds a separate mode that way you can keep the integrity of the game. **raises eyebrows**

      Depending on the scale of the game, you could sell it as a different game instead and get even more money.

      The second you turn it into a roguelike, you lose all profits. Instantly. Period. You end up making a game with the exact same structure as nearly millions of deservedly failed games. The USP is now out the window - you’ve just made another roguelike. Another to add to the mountain.
      It’ll also be *harder* to actually make it a roguelike, almost infinitely so. You have to work with completely different logic that has absolutely nothing to do with the core gameplay loop, and your attention will be shifted toward that instead of polishing and refining things that actually matter and will make your game stick out.
      Just stick with making an actual video game with levels and a properly designed difficulty curve. I was thinking about getting this one, but if it ends up being just another “Indie Game (tm),” then I’m giving it a pass.

    If you are up for the challenge, you should add an enemy that is similar to the player. They can do flips, dodge, or just an enemy that does surprise attacks.

    I LOVE the way it looks, specially with the retro music on the background. The animations are super! The whole game reminds a lot to Max Payne, I loved it when I was a kid.
    And now some rant that might be useless:
    I would tone down the boots tho, they seem a lil bit excessive. I get that you need to make the movement more "dinamic" in order to make the game more fun, but I think that's achievable throught other means, like combat and level design; The first clip of "Devlog 1", where the character is jumping off the walls while shooting and doing stunts, looks really good. Peeking corners and taking down the enemy in cool ways... all that good stuff. Some verticality in the levels, like shown in that clip, is great, since it allows flowy movements.
    I feel like some kind of wall-running/wall-sliding paired with "slow time bar" (that replenishes with tricks) would be great. Give players means to start/extend combos with the envinronment; that way you tie traversing the map and movement with the combo system and incentivise the player to keep things going even if there is no enemies. Maybe after killing some enemies you could extend your combo by wallrunning into a broken bridge with a pole on top that you have to jump in, gain momentum, jump off making some fun stunts, reset your jump mid air with the boots to be able to reach the other side while doing more cool stuff, and then killing a bunch of enemies that were waiting on the other side. Don't make it a parkour game tho.
    Give extra points for headshots? I think it's also missing a boss, with "telegraphed" attacks that you must dodge with cool shit.
    The vending machines sound nice, but maybe after each level instead of in the level itself. I feel like in this game the levels should be intense and not too long.

    You could add some new Enemies like a bladed arm guy, sorta like the predator, or a rail Gunner, and a rocket launcher, a jet packer, A grenadier, a sniper, a summoner/boss guy with explosive bullets, a Giant Laser guy, a Swinging Long armed/Grappler guy, A Miltary faction with different, more Army-like weapons, a turret, and Brawlers, also maybe a Whip/Lasso enemy, maybe new movement like side rolls, dives, and a Double jump.
    Also maybe Augments or something idk, just a big update idea lol

    Your dream game looks very promising and each video only serves to show your passion! If I may offer an idea regarding the rocket boots it would be to offer a mini thrust mechanic. Allow me to further elaborate if you will. Your video shows the player character engaging the rocket boots once in a single concentrated boost and then relying on aiming and firing without much player intention and guidance. If you could add a feature to allow for midair rocket boot thrust to allow players to stay in more intentional firing zones. For example when you thrust sideways, you could consider allowing the player to then engage mini thrusts to pivot the momentum and change direction to actively avoid enemy fire and hazards. This would also allow for more stylish approaches to engagements as well to keep your score system. Hope to see more!

    You should definitely give the shotgun a secret property of a jump boost, so if you jump look down and shoot the shotgun it shoots you in the air, would make for some cool trick lines!

    Love the vids! A few things to consider, this game seems like it would be extremely fun with a melee option (samurai sword, like mercenary from RoR2)
    Levels- I haven't seen any objectives so far, but maybe a narrative like this guy is trying to take down some gang or something. But implementing timed missions, missions where you have to collect things will all push the story and the user's skill.
    Last, maybe consider a sniper enemy? Could be interesting! Keep it up

I made couple small games and I am definitely not as ready as you are but I probably need to start from somewhere to build my dream games. Wish me luck man! Also I can't wait to buy your game.

    If putting together Combos is a thing in your game, (looks like it is) i recommend a very low threat flying enemy that players can "keep alive" to keep their combo meter going if they need to. something that isn't too hard to kill and is low priority but is out of the way of normal encounters to spice things up and keep the action flowing

    I think a trick mechanic like skate 3 where you have to flick the stick in a certain direction to get a specific type of trick would be great as it would allow more choice and skill to movements, the game should be easy to pick up - hard to master, sort of like getting the hand of rocket jumping in tf2
