i tried this a few times but i didn't understand it until now lol u gotta be in the mood for metroidvanias its not too hard i would give it from a 1 (kirby) to 5 (darksouls) i would give it a 3.5 in terms of difficulty.... not so hard that i wanted to rage quit but not so easy that i felt like i was just mashing buttons :) lore wise i have no clue what was happening but the game is very cute
