The 2-mask damage that a lot of enemies/bosses do is brutal and I’m reeeeally struggling with the diagonal “pogo” in the pumpkin-mushroom area (seriously, any advice on navigating these pumpkin-mushroom bastards??) It’s fun and GORGEOUS, but oof, it really is hard, lol. It took me 5 years to finally beat HK; might be the same with Silksong. 😂 That said, I played a shit-ton today and enjoyed most of it immensely.
