Arvoesine has a lot of design flaws and don’t really want to have to touch it again, I’d much rather work on my new better game than spend time updating it (but if I can be bothered I may do 1 last update). The advantage of killing enemies with the 2nd or 3rd strike is that you get better ‘score orbs’ (and these strikes do more damage against bosses). I didn’t do enough play testing to realise that people were just spamming javelins the whole game and not bothering about taking the risk to get better score orbs. Though if I was to update the game again I’d introduce limited javelin stock, and the ‘score orbs’ would also increase that stock (and thus killing enemies with the 3rd strike would have a more interesting value to it). Yeah I just realized the custom input wasn’t working like it use to, wonder how long it’s been like that lol, I guess I may as well update it now to fix the input at least.

By the way, I sort of enjoy Arvoesine. I wish I could set the controller buttons (they seem entirely intent on maintaining their default mapping) but I mostly wish the second and third strikes of the the character’s adorable combo were meaningful. Since every enemy flies back when they’re struck you never ever hit with that second swing and only awkwardly hit with the third while mashing. Why include it (genuine inquiry)?
