(...Well, that's an interesting title.)



I don't know the plural of Medusa, so I'm going to go with Medusas.



I have died to off-screen Medusas stoning me and causing me to fall to my death thrice, now. They are probably one of the cheapest, if not THE cheapest, enemies in the entire game. If one of them gets you, you're probably going to die by fall damage, lava or nearby enemies, and there's nothing you can do about it.



Probably the biggest problems are their range, and how fast they can stone you. They seem to be able to get you from 2 screens' worth of distance, and you only have about one second to save yourself. This, as I've stated before, has caused many unfair deaths from something I can't fight against.



This could be fixed by allowing you to fly, grapple and move very slowly while Stoned, making you take less damage (You've turned solid into hard rock! Why should you take more damage?), or SEVERELY reducing the range of Medusas.



Not actually related to the suggestion; the line of sight mechanic doesn't seem to work half the time. Sometimes, you might get Stoned even if you are not looking at her or if there are, like, 20 blocks between her and you.
