Thank you!
Yes, designing difficulty to be fun for everyone is something I find quite challenging. Some people prefer a more relaxed experience, while others prefer a very difficult, borderline frustrating experience (I am one of such people).
I think you are right about the hitboxes. Sometimes they are a little too big especially from certain angles because it’s 2.5D, which makes hitboxes a bit more challenging in general.
I like the idea of some sort of shield - it could even be something like a configurable handicap depending on how hard you want the game to be, thanks for the suggestion.
Thanks for playing!
