I wanted to reach out and express my appreciation for the game you’ve created. It’s been an incredibly fun and engaging experience. However, I’ve hit a bit of a snag at level 2. There’s a character that seems a bit overpowered – the one with the unusual appearance. It’s proving to be quite a challenge to get past her.
Despite this, I’m determined to give it another shot and beat the game. I just thought I’d share my experience with you. It’s a testament to the game’s design that I’m eager to keep trying, and I look forward to overcoming this hurdle.
Hi AggaZaw! Thank you so much for playing and for your feedback. I'm so happy to hear it's engaging and fun! :)
I'm glad because you said you want to keep trying despite getting stuck - I know what that can be like.
Your review is incredibly helpful to me because as a developer, I sometimes struggle with conveying the mechanics in a way that is intuitive to the player. So I really appreciate that you reached out!
By the character with the unusual appearance, you probably mean Alice - she's the boss character.
You can keep trying on your own, or alternatively, here's some advice on how to beat her:
it's important to note that she has 2 phases: regular Alice, and Chaos Alice. She switches between them every 5-7 seconds or so. Chaos Alice is faster, invincible and does a lot more damage, she's the one who is a black shadow with a wide grin. You will hear the ticking of a clock while she's in this form - run away (holding the shift button) around her until she becomes normal Alice again and you can hurt her.
remember to avoid the white arms if your health is low
regular Alice has a lot of HP but is weak. You can theoretically beat her at Level 1 (I've done so during playtesting) but to make it a bit easier you can level up first.
you can get some more experience points by killing butterflies, as well as Humpty Dumpties once you're a bit stronger (the egg creatures near the edge of the cliff) while continuing to heal up at the points of light regularly when your HP gets low.
face her by jumping down the ledge once you're ready
the white arms in the bottom level marked "???" are enemies that are about as strong as the butterflies, but they give more experience points. You can try to avoid Alice and kill them to level up some more if you notice that she's still too strong.
I hope this helped a bit! ♥
I'll try to make the gameplay more intuitive in the future.
Thank you so much, Poulet Roti! I'm happy to hear you liked it, I challenged myself to tell the story only with animations and character design instead of dialogue 😌
You did well, this was a really charming game and I had fun with it! Didn't mention it but I also really liked the minimalist combat system, it was nice and made grinding easy and addictive🤩
Aww, that angry face and the way she dived into the hole without a reason are so funny. I really enjoy the fierce fights. Besides, the ambient design is cool. Using emoticans in the menu is smart. Overall, I enjoy this sgb gem~

Thanks for this game, this was really cute and loved the little scene at the end!
Also loved the character design, looks so grumpy!
