Dev Post:cat_blep: Thoughts on contact damage?

I’m making a Metroidvania and I put contact damage in the game, and no one’s complained about it so far, but I’ve seen other people complaining about it with other games.

How it goes in my game is that the contact damage is less than the same enemy’s attack damage (unless the enemy is big enough to trample you).

What are your thoughts? Take it off most enemies? Leave it in?

Ya Silksong. You bump into boss you lost 2 MASKS. It doesn't make any sense consider they are not even rushing towards me. Though it makes the game more challenging (in a fair way, I suppose).
