Yeah there are definitely more tanky enemy types on that map. Levelling up is definitely slower on map 3

This is a fundamentally harder level than the levels that came before it. This includes the enemies being tougher, some of them ignore knock back or do high damage etc.

With full power ups bought it really feels too spongy.

I recommend that until you get used to the increased difficulty of this map that rather than running full upgrades you might want to disable all your levels of curse. This map can be a bit rough with curse stacked on top of it until you adjust your play style to accommodate it.

I already did the map without using curse. And it was doable and its not bad but I still would like that the enemies werent this spongy.

I suppose they could increase the damage, knockback resistance and speed of the enemies to match their toughness so rather than feeling spongy they just feel vicious, but I think we would see a LOT of complaints about it being too hard then. When this level was first released in beta it was quite a bit harder than it is now, but we had people whining about it, and about how it was unfair for such a tanky enemy to be able to tear you apart so quickly, so the devs softened up the wave composition and damage.

Yes. it is most certainly too spongy and difficult. have all power ups maxed and curse off. Cant even last 10 minutes cause i get swarmed. Partially cause monsters seem to phase through obstacles or at least walk right through stuff the player can't. i know that is done in level two for monsters to appear out of the bookshelves but in this level it just makes it far too easy to get cornered. I know its probably supposed to be harder cause its the next level but the difficulty from level two to three seems like a huge leap instead of a gradual increase

I mean, isn't all that what the curse and hyper mode is for? The game markets itself as being casual, I wouldn't expect it to be ultra difficult by default, so it makes sense that people wanted it to be made easier.

i struggled for a bit until i tried mortacio or whatever the skeleton character is called. just sit afk and the bones will keep bouncing off them

I feel the leveling curve in stage 3 is too flat. For the first 15 minutes you barely level up, making the stage feel tedious and unfun.

I managed to get through it with Porta, avoiding xp until the one minute mark, then I found an area with two rail carts in close proximity of each other and realised you only need to slightly off screen them for them to respawn. So I just walked left and right to get them to respawn and let them roll over enemies I couldn't kill. This helped my leveling issues a bit in the early game. That said, I only barely survived until the end, my items weren't perfect but it was still a lot harder than the other levels.
