thank you for the detailed feedback :)
yeah I know the physics can be frustrating but its hard to balance around that considering the visuals. I would probably have to have played around more with weight/invisible hitboxes and lower spawn timers in order to make it more "bearable". But instead my ape brain wanted to make more powerups and a second boss >¬<
My quick fix was to make all external factors optional through the "zen" mode. Have you tried that? Maybe you would find that a bit more enjoyable even though it takes a bit away from the "chaos" part.
Anyways thanks for detailed analysis of what you did and did not like <3
