Just beat the second boss and reached The Great Hall. Hands-down this is one the best games on Playdate. Really well done! It is both beautiful and brutal and the boss fights are fantastic. There are so many enemy types and the levels are the perfect length with a good amount of challenge. I love the mechanic of leveling up the spells and the little crank sections throughout, as well. And can't wait to try parrying with the shield. O.o
FYI - I am currently playing on Unlimited Lives and Weakened Enemies. I will likely toggle these off for any future play-throughs but they feel absolutely necessary to even out the difficulty for me. Thanks for including these options! ...I could probably turn off Weakened Enemies even on my first play through now that I have an understanding of the game - but I couldn't stand to watch that intro text anymore and had to make things a little easier on myself lol
My only suggestion is to change "start game" to "continue game" if save data is found. My poor heart skips a beat every time I boot up the game & think my progress has been lost LOL
Looking forward to finishing this soon :D
