Thank you so so so much for the very intricate impressions! I'm glad so much of it hit your ear well, and I'm ecstatic to hear it gave you an Ys vibe! xD
Truthfully, even now I go back and forth on whether or not I like the difficulty of the game (I'm currently leaning on the "it's maybe too easy" side), but hearing how it's gotten you and several other playtesters trying different functions in the battle system against the bosses fills me with so much joy ;_;
Again, a thousand times, thank you so much for playing and sharing your thoughts!
