I made it a bit easier, added health bars above the skeletons, and set the default difficulty to easy. Thanks for your comment!

Much better! The health bars gave me enough context so I knew to use hit-and-run strategy when my health bar is low. I also learned to parry and was able to take on 3 skeletons at a time by running, parrying, and striking back. I made it to the boss on my 2nd try but sadly wasn't able to defeat him. I think I should've saved up my fireballs for the boss. I'll have to try again later, but looking forward to future updates on this! :)
