Can you make it so that the dash makes you invincible for a short while?

Its annoying to dash toward an enemy to later kill them but they kill you before youre close enough

Is it me or did you design a robot with gender???

Loved it, though the dash does feel a little unresponsive because you need to wait for it to charge, but the wall running is exquisite

Glad to hear you had fun! We're definitely thinking of removing the charge up mechanic, since that appears to be a pretty common opinion~

We just updated the dash so it feels a lot more responsive. Thanks for playing!

feels great
