I sadly didn't change the controls either so I miss input a lot of times. I also forget sometimes in games that you can just hold on the key for shooting and it will keep on shooting so I was shooting manually every time until I got to Alice and I figured out that I can hold on the key TT_TT.
Outside of those mistakes of mine I struggle a bit at the beginning with the platforming challenges and the fairies but they helped me to take my time and familiarize myself with how to control everything and I was genuinely curious to investigate around and collecting everything.
My favorite part: The bosses. I really enjoyed the challenge and the repetition of trying to get closer and closer to defeating them.
Sadly I wasn't able to defeat Alice, there was this spell card with the waves of dolls going up and down where they corner you and I just couldn't figure out how to graze them or get out of the corners :*) No matter how close I got with all of the other spellcards I just didn't find the trick for that one, so... if I could know how to beat that spell card I would truly appreciate the tip 🙏
