Thank you! The theme is present in the core roguelike mechanic of the game: each time you exhaust the countdown, enemies in that world get stronger and stronger (and they are also sacrificed, counting the enemy countdown as well), making you balance how much you'll explore in that world vs deciding to take on the necromancer to go to the next world. And yes, the knockback could be a bit more subtle! Thank you for the feedback ❤️
