Thanks for playing! Working on adjusting the stat increases per level. In terms of dodging...I dunno. Maybe an item like in Link's Awakening? But that would be in a hypothetical later update. (You should try my other game Killer Bun, that's all about dodging!)
In terms of the intro and dialog, you do have the X button to skip along dialog. Planning to find a way to properly showcase controls in-game. Also working on alt. keyboard controls.
But nothing will help! You can never defeat us!!!
