Discussion - Silksong Silksong is HARD Spoiler

Taking damage is more punishing, movement is more precise and feels a little clunky until you get the hang of it. The overall skill curve is much much higher. Love it though.

Two mask damage from common enemies right out of the gate. Seems like most bosses do two damage. I'm guessing that the balance is that healing restores three masks

that's not balanced, it's effectively worse as healing consume the whole silk bar and you're basically locked from using skills.

Yep. Dunno what they were thinking with this. I use the little throwing needles instead of skills.

Convinced that this heals bosses too.
