I don't much like Dragon Saber either. It feels rushed and looks like poo. Then again, I wasn't a fan of the prequel either. Some of its flaws and resulting difficult details are definitely coder-induced. I swear, someone was smoking some happy shit when they were on this production. It's not without its merits but this definitely gets put into the "mundane" list despite its unique theme.
I'm gonna make a shooter where you play as a chicken, and fire eggs as your main weapon and giant piles of turd as your bomb weapon. Of course, since both come out of the back end, the chicken also has to fly backwards the whole game.
