Hello,
We are glad that you enjoyed our game! We agree with you regarding the background, enemies and animation, for sure.
There are 9 unlockable abilities, of which 3 are skippable. So, do you mean that you finished the game with 6 abilities our of 9? If yes, that's great! It means that you used the sequence break to acquire Teleport earlier and then exploited that ability to blast through the whole map.
Also, it would mean that you finished the game just with no ranged attack (Thunder and its upgrade). Do you confirm that as well? Surely the game becomes more difficult if you skip the ranged attacks.
Indeed you did a very interesting and the least frequent type of playthrough!
Thank you for your time,
Cheers
