Hello! First of all, thanks for spending your time making a great looking and very original game. I'm just starting to (maybe think about) making my own game and it's already over-whelming (in a good way).
Anywho, i'm absolutely stuck at the beginning and I can't progress. I don't want to give up just yet! I've already taken others suggestions about dealing with the difficulty, but I've had no results (i'm on casual mode).
I've cleared out the first part of the Unkempt Garden. I climbed down the rope/ladder using the worn gloves. Any monster after that kills me after three or four rounds. I tried numerous times to run around them but a certain purple flame monster always traps me. I just tried 18 times to get around him... I've ventured around the other areas and the Slugs kill me after three rounds.
From what i've read, the first Stat Point is in the lower part of the Unkempt Garden? I feel like if I could just get that one Stat Point then I might have a fighting chance. Is there another, easier Stat Point that I'm missing?
Thanks for answering and, again, for making the game. I've never been into the fighting aspect, so I know that this game isn't tailored for me, but I wanted to try something different!
