Nice work, I bet it took a lot of work doing those cut scenes and writing alongside the game. It was a fun experience. I do agree that the balancing when you're level 1 is a bit unforgiving, though I think it also goes with the story in a way. Once I got strong enough, I almost didn't want it to stop, but I guess that's the pull of that style of game :D

Thank you so much for the kind words!
Thankfully I had a team member who smashed those out of the park!
Yeah it's hard talent to perfect balancing the game. But good to hear you made it through though, so it wasn't maybe too too hard. And yeha very good point to the story although I would be lying if I said that was intentionally just for the story, but nevertheless a very good point that first starting to go through your issues/problem will be very hard indeed.
I wish that we had time to make it longer and more powerups and different boss fights that even more stronger chance based on your own choices. But lot learned from this project and for sure something for the future to think about!
