    This game rules. To everyone in the reviews complaining about difficulty, the game has i-frames, meta progression, attack patterns, broken item combos, mechanic abuses, and clear damage sources. I'm afraid to inform all the complainers that the game is not "too hard," it's actually just a tragic, massive, unbelievable skill issue. literally just get good lmao

    I want to like the game but becomes hard to see, everything blends in. Super cool concept but also gets boring as you are playing each run. around stage 3 I start zoning out hard
