Assist Mode
Most important thing to note here is **Assist Mode**. For those that cannot enjoy the game in the intended challenge, but still wish to experience what the game has to offer. Achievements can still be earned on this mode. Albeit, this can still be a difficult task. But leaderboards will not populate with runs completed while Assist Mode is active.
- Assist Mode added in the Extra section in the Options menu
- Enemy bullets do no damage
- Sword hitbox size increased
- Permanent fast-dash
- Unlimited air-dashes
- No bullet spread
- While Assist Mode is active, achievements still activate, but times cannot be submitted to the leaderboard
