ahhh... Thanks for trying the game... It does require a particular style of play that is very aggressive... You have to spam the attack button viciously and move around constantly. But well... I suppose it's not for everyone. Sorry for the trouble.
oh BOY now I can actually play the game!
The hearts really helped, though I often found myself running around looking for bushes.
Once I got to it, the cave became one of the most visually stunning things I've ever seen in a jam game. I was dissapointed that there was no boss, but I mean, I get it.
Damn, now I want to watch Samurai Jack...
