I can't tell you HOW MANY HOURS I spent up late at night reading articles on balanced gameplay. I wanted to make the game hard enough so it wasn't beatable on the first try, but fair enough that you could beat it with a bit of practice. Also, glad you understood that the skill tree acted as a sorta trade-off when choosing skills, and the boss... Yeah. He was meant to be easy to telegraph. Imagine how rage inducing it would've been if you made it all the way just for annoyingly hard to sightread attacks from the boss! Anyway, thanks for playing!
