Thank you so much for your detailed feedback , I’m really happy to hear that you had fun with my game!
Yeah, from level 3 onwards things definitely get a lot tougher, and if you don’t have strong items, it can be pretty unforgiving. As I mentioned in some of the other comments, I’m planning some major updates for the game after the jam, and many of your suggestions will definitely be taken into account.
Thanks again, and all the best to you, my friend!
