have you tried jumping as you swing? might help you out against those bats you're bitching about. they deliberately hover JUST above your swing. jumping hits them just right.Still does not fix the awful combat. The combat is awful. The collision is NULL you swing the pick axe right through them and they pick you up and carry you off. It's nearly impossible to hit the creature. Stomping is awful for a 2D combat where is the sweep type attack. Combat is just garbage and boring.
also, your arc changes when you kneel or go prone.
also also, this is a PORN game. get fucked. it's kinda the point.
so, to sum up: GIT GUD SCRUB!
