This is more of a request than a suggestion, but PLEASE program the small bushes so they can be broken by projectiles, such as gun bullets and certain bomb and sword attacks. Preferably so they rip through them, rather than stopping the projectile.
I carry two alchemers, and the only way I can break these small bushes is if they are against a wall.
On certain levels, such as some of the Aurora Isles, this does put me at a disadvantage due to loss of crowns and hearts.
Please change this T_T
Well, I don't know about this idea, but I can help you a bit for destroying them.
Alchemer bullets travel a certain distance before exploding with a very small radius, so all you need to do is to distance yourself so it explodes over the small bush. The small bush is then destroyed.
Hope this helps. I cant say much for the idea, I dont have a particular opinion, because I always carry at least ONE sword with me.
