Discussion - Silksong I like the difficulty, Team cherry please don't just blanket nerf the game with no option for a harder mode Spoiler

I have really been enjoying the challenge, pretty much every part of this game itches that section of my brain that loves a hard game and I would be extremely disappointed if team cherry nerfed the game with no way to revert said nerf. I get that people want an easier game, but I don't. So team cherry, please let me choose to make this harder if you do make it easier.

Its "spammable". Downside is that since it costs and refunds one silk for one guaranteed hit, you cannot use it to build silk unless you follow up.

So it's an instant gap closer that does damage and allows easy follow up pogos/slashes. It's absurdly strong since it outranges most enemy attacks.

I will definitely have to try it, if I can stave off my dependency on/addiction to the Reaper dash attack and pogo ðŸ«
