I've been listening to all the feedback and have now implemented an Easy Mode for the game!
You can access the Easy Mode Toggle in the options menu at the title screen.
Or change it in game on the fly so you don't have to go back to the title screen!
List of differences in Easy Mode:
You now start off with 5 lives instead of 3.
All of your weapons are now stronger, so most normal enemies will go down in one hit and the mini bosses and bosses will go down faster.
The game's most difficult boss in Stage 2, The Cookieroid Monster's 2nd form can now be defeated with normal weapons as indicated on the top right.
You can also play through all of the bonus modes in Easy Mode. While you will still need to put some time and effort to get all of the achievements, it should be much easier now.
There are no new achievements nor any of the current achievements have been altered. You can get every achievement with Easy Mode.
For those who still prefer the original challenge, you can still turn off Easy Mode and the game will go back to normal difficulty.
The Easy Mode update is now live here on Steam, itch.io and on the PS5. Epic and Xbox should be updated later this week. The demo version of the game also has the new Easy Mode.
Hopefully people can now have a more relaxed time playing and enjoy the silly characters and story without breaking their controllers in rage. As the game is continuing to sell well on all the current platforms it's on, I've been taking the criticism and feedback to heart and have been making improvements to make the game more accessible to everyone.
I will be addressing the localization of the game in other languages in a future update, so stay tuned for that.
Enjoy!
