I wish this game were about 80% as difficult as it is. I mean, it’s fair, and I’m not marking it as a flaw necessarily; but I just don’t think I’m good enough to keep up with it, and I love everything about the look and sound so much I want to see the whole game. One or two extra hit points would do it. Or maybe regaining a hitpoint with a parry?

I agree. So far, with each enemy I go through this cycle of:

1. Oh wow, that’s so cool. Oh wait, I’m dead.
2. I’m dead again. I think I’ll come back to this tomorrow.
3. Hey, a new day, a new attempt! I’m back! Oh my god, look at all these little details, it’s amazing. I’ll try a few more times.
4. Hey, a new day, a new attempt! Oh man, there’s even more details I hadn’t noticed before, this is so cool. I wish I could just get past this though.
5. Hey, a new day. I’m not sure if I’ve got it in me. I guess I’ll try one more time. Hmmm, I was almost there. Let me try a few more times. Phew I got through! Yay!

Get to the next stage and go back to step 1.

I just wish they’d made it so that I could skip Step 4, you know? If I just had to steps 1, 2,3, then 5, it would be great. But step 4 makes it feel exhausting.
