    Heyoo! Thank you so much for testing the game! 🫶 We released v0.0.0.5 last week which had a lot of improvements, including better combat feedback and a few more upgrades. I recommend trying "New Game" instead of "Playtest Level" which contains the game's actual levels and cinematics. The playtest level is intended for quick testing and doesn't have much of the game's content. We're currently working on the first boss fight, adding a bunch more upgrades, and creating the meta progression economy 🫡

      @@PlayfulPlaytests You speak out your thoughts with a lot of detail. For us indie devs who cant afford to hire playtesters, we usually receive written feedback or videos without any commentary from open playtests. So this is gold for us. I hope you don't mind but I have recommended you to some other indie devs. If that's not ok, do let me know.

    Hey, thank you so much for playing! You are correct that the playtest is early, it released yesterday :) your feedback is incredibly valuable especially for balancing those first few rounds. The skeletons might be a little too much too early 😬 but there is a ranged weapon you get from the altar after lighting both shrines that should make short work of them! I’m planning on adding a short and explicit tutorial for the first update that will explain some of these concepts.
