Oof rough onboarding huh. Maybe I should explain more on how the player is supposed to play the game so they wont get horribly slain. The very early game is intended to be rough, but maybe not that rough.
If I had to guess CryptRat abuses bombs (intended) and/or Throwing Knives that cause 33% max HP bleed (balance oversight). Also every time you return to town you get free revive, full heal, and full ammo refill, so you can grind near the town for a bit and build up your supplies. For my trek to the boss myself I brought 10 smoke bombs (guaranteed escape from random encounters) and 10 Ice Bombs.
FYI my last playtest before submitting got me to completion after 40 minutes, but turns out I shouldn't base the difficulty based on my experience solely. Lower numbers will be a given when (if) I update this game.
Yeah the graphics are bland I know, I'm ran out of time before decorating it lmao
Love your detailed feedback! Also thanks for having played my previous game!
