Thanks for the really in-depth review! I've taken note of some of this and gotten great feedback from others as well which I'll work on if I ever continue working on the game (or join the next jam).

Also, congratulations on being one of the few that liked the difficulty haha. The #1 complaint I get is that it's too difficult, unfair, or infuriating.

There actually were plans to make it way more complex but time definitely got to me, I was in a local game jam at the same time where I had to travel to a different city so I didn't have much time to work on them. The idea was to have enemies sometimes interrupt their attacks sometimes and force you to dodge backwards, or shoot arrows that you have to attack right before they reach you. Of course an endless mode too would've been nice. Maybe I'll work on these in the future, if I have the time.

Again, thanks for the detailed feedback!

Oooh good ideas! And totally understandable about the time crunch. I think this is a difficult game for sighted people who naturally aren't used to using their ears like this, and I don't want to exclude them so easier modes are totally a fine idea, but [and not to sound mean about it] but this is for blind gamers ultimately, not sighted ones.

Among those few blind people who do game, and the even fewer who play action games, generally we don't mind some challenge. Obviously there are blind newcomers as well, it's not just sighted people, but I've always felt that the default should be a more difficult game, with easier modes as an option, rather than the other way around. No shame to anyone who wants or needs those easier modes for any reason, but doing it the other way around can often give devs the wrong idea about our capabilities, or lead them to creating harder modes that aren't very inventive about how they make things more difficult, preferring to simply change some values rather than adding true complexity. Always easier to remove than to add IMO.
