oh snap my bad.. i've been playing wrong correctly LOL, i thought the enemies were just having a stroke and gave up chasing or something. i usually only end up reading the text if the game gives me problems (like not knowing how to jump or something and being stuck) so i ended up missing that youre fighting yourself entirely (again my bad).
i gave it another 2 runs, i feel like it kinda still takes too long for the game to ramp up if you dont shoot randomly and it just kinda ends if you make a mistake, but it definitely makes a lot more sense. ive adjusted the ratings accordingly.
