Thank you!
The Shapes can take a bit of getting used to, but they're an integral part of the game! Have you tried lowering the difficulty? Also, different Witches have different Heartpowers. Vuu has stars, Rose has boxing gloves. You might like one more than the other.
I do want to rebalance some of these fights eventually as well as make it so Shapes have less HP at lower difficulties, but I promise it's doable even in the current version ^^
I kept at it and managed to get through the entire thing, eventually. this is quite the "demo" given that it's about as long as some full games already. it's a lot more fun when I'm not cranky and tired, though the encounter rate might be a little high. at least it makes it easy to just outlevel problems.
actually, on the same line it does seem weird for the player to be able to hit the higher ranks given how early in the story this probably is, but I'm guessing it's an artifact of this being a demo version of the game.
Oh you did it! I'm glad you gave it another shot ^^
I did get some complaints about the encounter rate before yeah, I'm looking into ways to make battles avoidable in certain circumstances. This should help ^^
Being able to hit higher ranks so early is indeed a demo thing! The progression will be different in the full game.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts! I appreciate it ^^
