cant even get through a single level without game crashing for random reasons

My guess is this is some kid's class project they put up on Steam. It is not worth paying any money for it. Technically, the controller support is a mess of a joke. It literally just stops working inside of menus. I had to use a mouse while playing with a controller to change any settings or even just to close the run after dying. I guess you can release a game without controller support, but for a bullet heaven, it's stupid and lazy. I had to spend around fifteen minutes switching between the steam controller editor and the game itself, because you can't change controller gamebinds from inside the game, and I'm not playing with a keyboard. (And I shouldn't have to.) After I got that mostly working, the gameplay was uninspired. It's just another Vampire Survivors knockoff. The best I can say for it is that 1) The art & animations are very cute, 2) There appears to be a gigantic pool of powers. The size of the powerup pool is a double-edged sword, though, because while it does provide the chance for weird and crazy builds (yay!) it severely dilutes the chance of tailoring your build, especially when rerolls are locked behind metaprogression. But honestly, it's a minor issue because at five minutes you get ambushed by a giant swarm, and you either get lucky with your dash charge or die. This game should at most be free, but probably just shouldn't be for sale at all. I got it for less than 2 bucks, but cannot envision a scenario where I would choose to play this over anything else in my library. Maybe if you're bored and just want something cheap and new to kill a little time with, but in that case I'm sure you could find something with less technical issues and at least as much entertainment value. Honestly, if the dev is planning to continue in the field, I don't think they're going to want prospective employers or people buying their next game to see what a hunk of garbage this is. It's just embarrassing.
