100% get what you mean. Your last point is an accurate depiction of the dilemma I was facing at the end. I was so used to it that it felt too easy and mind numbing.
I had two play testers, one that managed to go through the game in 4 tries (albeit I did tell him about the secret way to AFK the Mum Calling) and the other one was stuck at the Mum Calling and was hoping they'd explore a bit haha
If you managed to beat her "regularly" then good job!!
Really appreciate your thoughts and will definitely take these points into consideration if I ever find myself working on another game. Feedback like this is very valuable :D

I really love what you did and find it to be well made. I did beat her a few times but now I am having trouble again. Got any pointers without cheating?
⚠️ Spoiler ⚠️
I enjoyed drowning my childhood memories in alcohol though! And I can't believe my guy goes to the gym regularly, luvs his mom, participates in HG coaching, spends time with his kids and streams. I have failed him!I finally beat the game. It was satisfying! I think the extra difficulty really hit the spot. The mom boss, knowing I can take cover behind a table and that I do not have to attack continuously, really helped. A lot of this stuff, like learning guitar, eating healthy food, going to the gym, and doing yoga, are things I relate to.
I hope you enjoy a great career making games if that is what you want, or have it as a prolific side hobby if that what you’re going for. Your game was fun.
