I know this kinda sounds like a joke but, I thought the guns were a pretty cool addition to this game. I think they're balanced pretty well, in relation to bombs. In relation to each other though, I always preferred the pistol over the shotgun.

The dodge-roll (I think it's actually called "Ninja Roll" in-game) is insane, as you might be able to imagine. The invulnerability frames you get from it are so useful. It's by far the best item in the game.

The entire loadout mechanic is also insane. Once you have enough items unlocked, you're allowed to choose up to 5 items to start off a run with (oh yeah this game's a rougelite by the way), and almost none of them have any downsides.

There's not a whole lot of content to this game. There's almost enough for me to be completely satisfied, but I kinda just got bored and stopped despite only needing to unlock one more achievement to 100% the game.

 
My biggest complaint with the game though is that it's super janky. The movement feels really off, and there's just a lotta bugs.
