I got a question i don't know the answer to, whats the difference between a soft and hard reset?

Hard reset often means resetting the whole thing; to a blank slate while a soft reset may be something like a rebirth where it makes getting to a certain point easier or lets you upgrade certain things permanantly.

that's what I thought but I was meaning the specifics, like does it reset the kills, or my stats.

both reset both in different ways; A hard reset (as mentioned before) essentially deletes all saved data, while a soft reset will maintain the previous data to make the game easier to progress, so in a sense it remeves the ammount of kills and stats in exchange for this or that to help the player progress faster, while maintining the "lifetime" ammount of each data set.

They are only to use if you stuck. Hardreset resets *everything*. Soft reset resets the current run. (the dialog window should tell the same)
