The reason the fight against the cop ended up being so difficult is because we didn't anticipate the player wouldn't be at LVL 3 by the point they got into the fight, so you didn't have your third skill on Alex, which we balanced the fight heavily around. It also had an issue where you couldn't gain the extra skill from the Radiant Shard because of that, so the fight was only won because Carll ended up being enraged, which gave him spawnObject(lghtn) to stun the cop with. His undodgeable attack only comes up if you don't stun the cop for long enough
We're tweaking things here and there to make the mechanics a lot clearer and more well explained in the tutorial, which was massively overhauled since this version, and includes giving you the third skill as soon as LVL 2. Enemies are also a lot less hard to kill, now, with less health and a new piercing mechanic
This let's play series was really helpful for finding weak spots in the game for us to improve on, so thank you!
The boss fight did feel impossible since we felt weaker than we should have been. So we basically won do to random luck. At least this gave you a scenario that you didn't consider so it could be adjusted to account for that.
Hopefully the tutorial will help more players understand the game more and having the required skill earlier should make some the fights easier since it seems like a very important skill. Easier enemies should encourage players to fight more enemies and level up more before the bigger fight so hopefully that helps with the overall gameplay feel for the player.
Happy our videos could help improve the game and we are looking forward to playing more of it when you are ready with more content.

This intro so far was really good, but I go to bed and can't progress, the same text just repeats about the same dream..
Oops. We just uploaded a fix
I just tested out this patch, and apparently there are many other broken things that weren't patched out
Now, everything works as it should on version 1.4.3
It's really stylish, I loved it <3
I'm glad you liked it!

In case you end up playing the NG+ route, I highly recommend doing it through the current version
