First run: I made it all the way to the end very fast! Then discovered I needed to kill a lot more than I did... so instead of backtracking I just hit the restart to start over and focus more on kills instead of dodging.
Run #2 - I got stuck in a ceiling with 60% of the souls bar filled :(
Couldn't get unstuck, so had to restart again.
Run #3 - THIRD TIME'S THE CHARM!! Ascended to my second form and LOL, that was totally unexpected and amazing! Really unique character moveset that was quite fun and challenging to navigate with! Really gave me renewed interest to keep playing more! Then the final form, I had a blast having so much mobility and power, I played it out to the final ending! I even met the evil brother >:]
Loved the experience start to finish besides the technical issues. Amazing work, and such interesting unique concepts! Were there any other secrets I missed?
and maybe could have rediscovered the controls I missed, like if there's a button labeled "Restart At Checkpoint [T]", or just a general list of controls in a permanent place I can refer to.
