I've provided a separate build alongside the submission build

I feel like my second build is withen the update rules due to the sheer difficulty preventing players from seeing the whole game. Ideally you play the easy build to see the whole game, as well as play the original build to see how it was originally. The easy balance build just provides a better way to see it all, and should primarily be used to see stuff you didn't manage to see in the submission build..

Video Walkthrough

I've provided a video walkthrough for the game for those who find themselves stuck.

Easy Balance Patch

Due to the difficult nature of the game, and people struggling with it even on easy, I've changed the balance for easy mode to make it significantly easier.

Don't play on Normal unless you want a challenge, and avoid Hard unless you want to really struggle.

Balance Patch Notes - These changes only affect Easy mode, nothing else was affected.

Easy Light Duration increased to 2x - Was 1.5x

Spawn Multiplier decreased to .6x from .8x

Moth speed decreased to .7x from .9x

Brainly speed decreased to .5x from .7x

Spinely shoot cooldown increased to 1.4x from 1.2x

Projectile speed from spineleys and bosses to .5x from .75x

Damage decreased from .8x to .3x

Last boss moves significantly slower

Small Fixes

Game name on title screen now displays properly and no longer moves around

Thanks to everyone who has played it so far!
