I am really bad at this game and never played a metroidvania before at all, I have died like 30 times to lace but managed to beat her. Everytime I need to buy something more expensive than a map (50 beads) I find my self farming the in the scummiest ways possible because I can never save up the beads for it from dying too much, every single boss fight with the exception of the first 2 have been extremely frustrating to me, I somehow really struggle to use the diagonal attacks at all in part because I am can't even get consistent at them (i miss about 10% of time) despite knowing exactly how to, the pogo sections on those pumpkin things are an absolute nightmare I spent 1.5+ hours to get from extremely bad at it to just very bad at these pogo sections
