Jump buffering is the one I’d tell every new dev to add first. It costs almost nothing and players never notice it, they just stop feeling like the game ate their button press. Same idea works outside platformers. In a tick-based game, queueing the last click for the next tick fixes a lot of “I clicked it, why didn’t it work” complaints.

Thanks for trying it, and for the honest note! That’s good to know. I’ll look into the fast tapping so it doesn’t buy stuff you didn’t mean to. Did the first boss feel okay to you?

Nice moody atmosphere, the dark forest and the glowing fireballs look great and the aiming feels smooth. Small suggestion: the title screen text gets cut off on my phone-sized window, and a short hint about where the statues are would help on the first run.
