Thanks, yeah I think I might know what you mean!
Glad to hear everything worked and you liked it :)
Yeah that is a good point and true, it was very hard to balance it so that it wouldn't be too easy or too challening. Also wanted the feeling that in the end you are kind of mowing them down since you survived the worst.
Hahah, yeah that's actually on purpose (obviously needs a bit fine tuning), but the boss is different on every playthrough depening on your powerUp choices, so if you hadn't chosen speed pickups, then then boss would be balanced with that as well, but have something else you picked up as powerUps! ;)
Completely agree that it's not that easy sadly, but it is a good first step to the right direction! :)
