The final boss now drops bombs. I felt like it was kind of necessary as the boss is piss easy if you have all your stats maxed. I also increased it's HP slightly.

I noticed now that I made the game too easy by having the player heal between levels. To somewhat compensate, I increase the prices of the white and blue swords. Maybe they should be even more expensive.

I also realized that while the bosses take a while with the wooden sword, they are easily cheesed with the blue sword so I think it should be pretty expensive.

Balancing difficulty is basically the only thing I have left to do. I could release this game unbalanced, but since permadeath is a key feature, I want to make it so that you can lose and probably will on your first playthrough, but not have it so that winning is impossible. Though there was a Japanese PC game known as Xanadu which was infamous for being popular, but having very few people actually beat it, so maybe I could do that.
