Thanks a lot for playing it!
Regarding the difficulty scaling, I completely agree. I will spend more time introducing more challenging enemies and also balancing the upgrade mutations (they are kind of OP atm)
Regarding wiggling the sword I also agree, there's already the stamina bar that limits the dashing and deflecting, probably sword swings should also burn some mana yes!
Your kind words really mean a lot to keep this up! Thanks ❤️
