Please add "no screenshake/zoom option"
Wow, I want to recommend this. The gameplay is a lot of fun, and it's almost great with a friend. The only problem- and I mean ONLY problem, is just how abrasive the screenshake/zoom and drum track can be.

This a bullet hell game, that requires focus and precision in order to survive, which is extremely hard to do when every 2 seconds the whole screen zooms in a bit and shakes and honestly makes me a bit sick, and I have reduced screenshake disabled. Add that on top of the screen getting dragged around in co-op and it's a total deal breaker.

I've looked around for a way to turn this off or mod it out several times over the years due to how much I want to play the game but it always ends up being a waste of time. This wouldn't be a problem if I didn't like the game or the gameplay, but I do, so it is.

Please add an accessibility mode, and disable the leaderboard for that gamemode if you feel it makes it "too easy/boring". Me and my little brother really really wanted to like this game but that screenshake made us need to step away from the couch and go stand outside for a bit in order to feel comfortable sitting back down. which is pretty much the last thing you want a game to do. I promise that adding an accessibility mode to the options that removes the drum track and screenshake/zoom would not destroy your game since it's purely an option provided so that more people can enjoy your hard work.

I hope that you can see that even though a couple years have gone by since I've bought the game, I still care enough to write this up in hopes you can try to see things from our perspective of wanting to enjoy this game without getting our senses assaulted and our heartbeats being rendered palpitated. I still want to play this game but I just can't even with the lite mode enabled.

Side note: release a sequel with some rogue like progression, a few different characters to choose from, and that much needed accessibility mode. I'd pay full price for it, that's how much I love this artstyle and gameplay. Shooting demons in this game is very satisfying but feeling like my eyes are constantly being pushed out of my skull is not.

Another game that falls into this category of "Amazing gameplay but retina seeing visuals" is Post Void. I love everything about that game except how much my head hurts after I play it.

Being able to zoom the screen out a bit in co-op would be helpful and honestly amazing. We got a big tv, don't worry, we will still be able to see our characters.
