No need to apologize for a "long" reply, it's good to hear you had so much to say about my comment. Plus, mine was a lot longer, lol.

Making the bosses give permanent upgrades makes a lot of sense! That makes them stand out a lot more, than just feeling like stronger (albeit sometimes a LOT stronger) normal ghosts. To be honest, green and Pink felt a lot more unique than Yellow, since it seemed to me like Yellow just had more stats, and no special gimmick like regen or guaranteed binds. I totally get why you didn't implement those in this version. Game jams are often like that. But hopefully you keep working on this, I can tell it has a lot of potential.

I think that adding at least one more basic enemy would make a lot of sense, since with just two basics, that are both about equal in terms of difficulty, it makes things feel pretty same-y (although, I have to compliment the capture item system in that regard, since it makes the ghosts a lot more distinct, since you have to pay attention to which capture item you have when engaging them). But, you don't really notice the sameyness unless you're playing for a longer time, like past the Pink Warrior (which obviously you will be in your next update).

A couple minor pieces of advice I forgot to mention: I think it would be good to in some way mark that the Warriors are unique, boss-type enemies to the player. When I first played, I bought a set of Belts earlier than I needed to, and bought a second one after beating the Green Warrior, since I didn't know that, and I wanted to be able to catch one if they appeared again. Maybe make the boss capture items only purchasable if the boss is needed for the next level, or make them go "out of stock" once bought for the first time, or just change their descriptions to say "used to catch a boss/unique ghost" or something along those lines.
