Thanks for playing! You are correct in that I balanced it pretty easy on purpose, due to this just being the first dungeon.
There definitely are bad items - you just got lucky. I'll probably make the ratio overall meaner in the final game.
Love the game, more people need to hear about this! I'm completely stuck on a certain boss fight where a death timer is introduced in the final phase. It seems to just be mathematically impossible to win... anyone else gotten this far?
