Thanks for playing my game, and thanks for the feedback, I appreciate it!
Yeah, I agree that the power-ups definitely make the game feel quite easy (except for with the lava on the final two levels, haha) but I was trying to lean easier on the balance rather than more challenging, since it's a game jam and I wanted everyone to have a fun time and be able to actually beat the game instead of making people rage quit, haha!
For a while I had the enemies getting stronger in the final levels, dealing more damage and having higher hp, but that made finding the hidden stuff way more necessary and annoying instead of like a fun exploration type of thing, if you know what I mean.
But yeah, thanks again for playing, I really do appreciate it! :D
