As for highlighting the letters D->A->S->H — on one hand, it would work nicely as an indicator, but it feels a bit too futuristic and might break the immersion.

I completed it on easy and hard difficulty. I think the easy difficulty strikes a perfect balance of mechanics. The hard difficulty, on the other hand, isn’t so much hard as it is unfair to the player. I spent most of the run just standing still and spinning the cursor around my character to attack in a circle. Simply because out of 5 keys, I was left with only one and there’s no way to get them back.
wait that's actually crazy
it's because as time goes on, there's a chance for the decorrupt powerup and it gets less and less .... that means u were just incredibly unlucky because i'm pretty sure it's still >30% by the end lol
but i do agree that after the powerups it's pretty easy to beat, you can just stand there and spin lol, that's why i was like wondering why people say it's too hard
also just for reference there is the truth powerup which will allow ur keys to sometimes tell the truth meaning you can still move around, honestly looking back i should've added a monster that gives you back your keys but it's too late lol
