it's really bad

My guess is a teddy bear named Marshal

You can't just put in the ability to parry attacks and let it be the end all be all of defense. Because defending against attacks shouldn't come down to pressing a button, you should have to evade them in different ways, especially in regards to how arcade flight games work. Otherwise, you just basically made the game laughably easy once you figure out how enemies operate, and beforehand, you just signaled that your game's combat is style without substance....

Anyone else think there’s something off about the publisher? Can’t quite put my finger on what exactly it is, though.

Is it to avoid potential legal issues? Cloudbreaker was a far better name for the game. The new name kinda sucks tbh.
