WAY TO HARD - Needs difficulty selection
Yeah the game is great but its too damn hard to play....Will the DEVs please make the game not so punishing (Needs to be easier) And add a difficulty selection (Easy, Casual, Normal, Hard)

Git gud son.

Some games are hard, on purpose. Like Dark Souls or Cuphead. This is one of those games, now you're just mad because you discovered it after buying.

Also if it was easier, now you'd be crying here how you completed it already, and how it's too short for 20€ game. Maybe you just didn't master the mechanics yet? There's people in YouTube who run through it until first boss fight like it's nothing, and 3-star the levels on first run

And here I am, wanting to post about the game being too easy.

no reason to not have difficulty options , cuphead and darksouls didnt have to be hard they had to be good games there being easier options for those that want it doesnt affect the challenge of the hard settings.

I was all in on this game but after reading this post and seeing this video i might wait until buying.
Also i would like remap keys which they are working on.

Watching this it does look kinda too hard and random why you get hit by a bullet.

I'm really loving it, but I think it'd be less frustrating if the doors didn't behave so poorly and the bullet velocity was much higher so that there'd be much less occurences of being killed by someone who's already dead.

the game plays like hotline miami, do you expect it to be easier? use your dodge, bullets cant hit you when you dodge. when ♥♥♥♥ gets heavy, use your slow motion. i died 24 times in one level but never wanted them to make it easier. the levels already fly by. i just killed the second boss and am on the 3rd section of the game.

IF you were looking for one sentence to tell the whole world how much a bell end you are, you nailed it.

Learn to time your dodge and bullet time. Then it is easy .

I don't see how you can call what you see in that video random. The dude didn't roll once and stood in the enemies line of fire.

This game is supposed to be mad hard. But it is oh so satisfying when you finally beat a level that you have tried over and over to beat, and the instant restart fits with the difficulty perfectly.

And I'm not sure if its just me, but it seems the enemies act slightly differently each time you play, so you have to react to what they are doing in that instance rather than just memorize exactly where they will be and when.

Yes it's hard as balls.

- Pay attention to both the flying bullets and the enemy positions
- Enemies can't hear your shots from other rooms, take advantage of this.
- Keep in mind once an enemy has seen you it starts to behave differently and circle strafe you around corneres


Maybe I'm too old for this but I enjoy games like this, FURI, Hotline, Dark Souls etc.
However I'm sure i will NEVER 3 star a level, ever. :D

dark souls wouldve never had the reputation it has now if it had difficulty options, now the game is the same experience for everyone which is one of the things that make dark souls great.

When it comes to difficulty in games, i don't think every single game should compromise it's vision by adding an "easy" mode. Some games should just have a set difficulty level that the player has to overcome, for that is the intended experience the creator(s) had in mind.

Git gud son is the right response to this. The games not incredibly hard but I cycle between mouse and one controller because neither feel quite right so far.

Thanks for posting this.
