Thnaks for playing dude
About difficulty, it's one of the main complaints, so it will go up. This first demo was mostly to see if the game loop itself was on to something.
about balace, as you said i have many avenues to persue to tune difficulty up. in theory i could tune it even more "evil" than a normal rogue because i decided to have lives. we'll see
>Edit: I played the old version, I swear I didn't even notice the update notification and wasn't prompted by that to try it.
it's no problem because there is no new version. I was testing a web build, and itch see it as a new release. if you are interested, next demo build will be first week of july.
ED: i didnt notice u were brass dev, happy to see u again!
