hmm there should be more feedback as soon as you press the button then and the difficulty curve shouldn't be as harsh anyway
and i only got 30-40% of what i wanted in there (didn't finish in time) so there might not be as much more as your imagining
'bloodstained: curse of the moon' is a good example of classic castlevania if your interested in that type of game but yeah your not in control of your character a lot of the time so you gotta commit to your actions
