A short clip of hell mode! Takes some dedication to unlock and beat, but if you do you unlock a bunch of special spells!
The demo itself is only one world (8 battles) long, so there wasn’t a lot of room for difficulty ramp. If it ramped up to this difficulty by the 6th battle, that would be way too much for new players! When I playtested with friends, it was less difficult than this, but still a bit too tough. I then made the decision to lower the difficulty of the normal run, and add in an unlockable “hell mode” difficulty. This way hardcore players can get a real challenge if they want, without frustrating more casual players.
I feel like you still have to reward players for their efforts though, so I put some more unlockables behind beating the entire run and the second boss on hell mode.
