I got defeated at the part where spikey undead moose brought his two long-armed bodyguards to impale and slap me respectively. When I retried to get back onto that level, the attack bar on those "bodyguards" were already half-full, giving me less time to impale to moose trying to impale me.
I gotta say though. Great game overall.
Reply: I went and played through the entire game again after you messaged me. Gave me some sort of motivation to try again. I wanted to see if I could beat it without the shortcut and I surprisingly did. Though, the boss still gave me dread when I came back to beat its butt. Nice job on the game :)
