I just found out you can heal and restore your healing item between runs on dead cells........ I've been playing for days without that, inadvertently making it even harder......
@angrboda Yeah, they don't make the healing flask an obvious mechanic 'cause you have to buy the first one, so there's no "oh, that's what this does" moment baked into the tutorial. It's one of the few things in that game that I could see polishing up.
I suspect the game designers assumed "everyone's played Dark Souls by now and will know how healing flasks work."
@orrery I have not played dark souls, so... yeah. (I generally don't like that style of tricky 3D combat but I'm much cooler w/ tricky combat in 2D)
@angrboda I have a roommate that's played "quite the quantity" of Dark Souls and it'd pretty popular around my social circle, so I sort of absorbed it by osmosis, but I can see how if I hadn't known that, I'd have missed what it does and how it works.
@angrboda (between levels I mean)
