Way too easy, managed to nmnb clear on normal on my first run, but not necessarily a bad thing
The games concept of some enemies only your focus character (cause everyone wants to be IN lol) can hurt is definitely better in concept, and i still dont really get the blue and red sunflower fairies. I also cant deny that lives and bombs being metered to the red and green energy you automatically absorb is pretty cool too.
When i tried it as mokou on hard i did actually die (enough to GO on stage 5) but i noticed something: i was actually landing deathbombs. The db timing is a lot more lenient than the actual games but now that i was using pad i kept landing them consistently, and even installed 18 just to fuck around and try deathbombing and was hitting them super consistently.
Tl;dr: i am become padchud, destroyer of worlds
