I was really impressed with this game but the difficulty curve when you reach the eel is too steep. The eel is too fast, you can't navigate out of your shell fast enough and you bounce too much inside it.
I've tried it again. After farming for health (which doesn't help the one-shot kills) and reaching about 5 levels high, I'm flabbergasted there's no checkpoints yet. I got to a tile section with a clam enemy and it's beyond a joke at this stage. PLEASE add some checkpoints!
