"Ok" game needs improvements

I find the game just a little too difficult. Not impossible like last update reviews but it is too hard. When you get to a point where you can almost have it impossible to beat, there is nothing you can do but restart the whole hame and try to get better stats. Other than that its a very fun game. What I think needs to be improved on is the enemies need to be weakened a bit, bombs should do two damage to shields, bombs should have a faded red showing off their radius and there should be a coin block that allows you to get coins so that you can buy PERMANENT upgrades. Then even if you are bad, you can still upgrade to get better stuff and be able to do better. This game has a lot of potential and you could make it into a more rpg-ish type game where there are more things to do. Not to mention you could make another game and use this fighting style in it
