Thank you so much for this amazing comment!
It’s not really a user error, we designed the lanterns to stun the platform robot, adding a little “puzzle” element to the game. You’re totally right though, it would be a great idea to reuse this mechanic for other enemies.
As for the boss, I completely understand. We originally added the platform so the player could escape the attacks, but when we realized it could be used to “cheese” the boss, we decided to leave it in and even turn it into a kind of “tip” for players who might get frustrated or stuck in the boss fight. Just like how you can run past enemies and clear the levels. (Though in hindsight, that ended up being a mistake on my part, as you can see from some of the reviews, we’re definitely learning from this, hahah)
Thank you again for playing my game and for leaving such an expressive comment! ❤️
