About this mod Machine translation
Slow down the enemy's preparation actions and punish continuous movement speed. Slows down enemy preparation actions, and applies speed penalties when enemies perform consecutive force-based movements
EnemyPunisher
🎯 **Version v0.2** is now released!
✨ Main functions
- **Slow down the enemy’s preparation** ⏱️
- Slow down the enemy's attack preparation, jumping, dodge and other initial animations
- Give players more time to react
- **Continuous displacement speed penalty** 🐌
- When the enemy performs continuous rapid movements (sprinting, dodging, jumping)
- Automatically reduce its movement speed
- Prevent enemies from tricking players by moving quickly in succession
⚙️ Configuration options
Effects on Boss can now be turned on or off in the configuration file!
**Default setting:**
- ✅ Animation deceleration effect: On
- ❌ Displacement speed penalty: off (to avoid abnormal behavior of some Bosses)
⚠️ **Important Note:** The slowdown effect may cause some bosses to behave abnormally. It is recommended to turn it on with caution or turn off both to prevent the boss battle from proceeding normally.
🎮 Design Concept
The preparation actions of some enemies only take about 100ms, which is already lower than the average human reaction time (200-500ms). Continuous rapid movements can also easily make players feel like they are being tricked, making the battle seem unfair.
This mod aims to alleviate these situations and try not to break the developer's original intention, but to maintain a reasonable and fair game balance (of course, this depends on the parameters you adjust).

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.
Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
