I gave it another go since I saw you updated it.
I like how the grass and plants rustle when you walk through them. And the rolling animation feels perfect (especially when going through the barricades).
Also I finally got past the Big Head boss -- the power gauge came in handy. I think part of what makes that battle so hard is the fact that the wall is sometimes so high and it's hard to gauge an angle where the knuckle sandwich doesn't collide with it. But I was able to get past it this time so that's good.
I think I found a bug though. So on this playthrough, I skipped most or all of the dialogue and went straight to the two devil fights and then to the Big Head fight. I got the Roll ability. I remember from talking to the first brother on previous playthroughs that it sounds like he gives you an ability (Lift, I'm guessing?). But this time when I talked to the first brother he kept talking as if I hadn't beaten the Big Head enemy yet (but I already had). Long story short, it seems like if you don't talk to the first brother first before fighting Big Head, he'll never give you the reward.
But I did get one cat. Yay!
