I've not had the chance to try your game yet, but when test/play the games in a jam I to aim to play 1 decent run, for a game that has controls to adapt to, or where the challenge means I die quickly, I will keep trying until I figure out the mechanics. The run after this point tends to be what I call the decent run.
I then play until I die or beat the game, but because I want to play as many as I can, around daily life, I don't keep playing to finish the game.
I will try to have a look at your game and if I do make it to the end I'll let you know.
