alright so this i have to preface by saying that my comment is mostly just a a skill issue and understand if ignored, but as of currently, i'm level 8 and stuck on fighting the serpent girl/that one greater demon. I'm using Holy Magic+Lunar Magic, with the shortsword, and the Swara mantra.
Now, I had a lot of fun going through up the game until now but I legit think I'm going to be stuck there. I don't understand the counterspell mechanic (i know you have to click them but even when I do, which is rare for me to manage, the spell is just partially reflected despite doing it fast) too much, in addition to problems outside of your circumstances (I have bad hand-to-eye because I have bad hand coordinations due to things.). if there was a difficulty/accessibility setting that makes counterspell more like a regular deflect, honestly i'd take it, and if you don't do that, i'd understand.
Otherwise, great game so far, genuinely interested in the story which is the main reason why being stuck there annoys me, but I wish counterspell didn't suck (imo) because even being in easy+trying to reduce lag as much as possible I just can't outdamage on the second phase before i get outdamaged.

I’ll experiment with some adjustments. I definitely don’t want people to be unable to complete the game. Counter spells are supposed to be more difficult, but I do see people really struggling with them from time-to-time, and obviously I don’t want them to be that hard.
What I’ll probably do is add a stage between perfect and partial where you can still nullify a spell if you input the first three symbols correctly, regardless of how many signs there are. Also, keep in mind that easy mode increases the timer by 20%, so if you’re not playing on easy mode, that may help!
