I ll be honest i had no idea the game was this hard when i published to itch until i started getting feedback. I am working on an easier version for post jam. I was able to get it on wavedash.
Its tough to avoid all the shots, that's about it.
Which I respect. I grew up playing games with 3 lives and no saves... Friends and I had to beat the game in one sitting or else we'd have to start over.
