Thanks so much for the feedback! Nothing is more fun to me in game dev than making the game more difficult. I love difficult games, but I try to restrain myself a little because I get so many people telling me that the games I make are too difficult xD So hearing you say it's too easy gets me excited to make hard mode more difficult or make more difficult modes in the future. I'll definitely work on finding new ways to make the pistol more useful in the future. My goal is to make it as useful as the whip, but each useful in different situations and encounters.
