Violet whooped my ass again and again! I kept at it because I wanted to unlock more story and snap her out of her state, so kudos to building up to that, but boy was the fight itself tough. Once I figured out the throw arch and her movement I had it down, but I was more invested in the story than the action part of the game and would have liked more of that because you crafted a lovely world.
Great experience overall. And to be fair to the difficulty curve, it almost reminded me of playing Cave Story ... ya know where a boss fight is so hard but you keep going because you want more narrative ... that's a great thing and you nailed it here.
