The enemies hit too hard, are too many and have too much hp. Meaning the best way to play this game is to simply avoid them entirely by jumping/dashing around. I've finished the game without cheat (except for the queen slime... seriously what were they thinking???) and I barely saw any animations while playing... it's such a waste for this kind of game. I hope it will be fixed in the future.
Also, the cost of the items in the shop is too high and doesn't make sense. Why does the armor cost 750 and the upgrade 500 while the upgrades are definitives and not the armor which is so easily broken? Buying the armor seems like a total waste of money but in the same time, not wearing it expose you to the grabs constantly, making the game a chore to play...
I bought nearly nothing... and why should you buy anything in the first place when you can just exploit some features of the game? You can farm potions, knives and bombs very easily by just coming in and out of an area. It's as if the "intented" way to play is to kill the monsters to earn money and buy items... but at the same time it's so much more easy and rewarding to just avoid them and go on. Killing them is way too risky and a chore...
The animations were beyond great and appeal to some weird fetishes which is quite nice. Too bad it's not well implemented in the actual gameplay.
