Thank for playing our game and leave this thoughtful comment. Honesty in our development process, we found our small group of play tester have a really hard time to beat first stage. But some players are Vampire Survivors veteran, they comment that this game difficulty is too easy. We decide to counter this gap by give a chance for new player to put some upgrades (even they have no idea how it was) with some initial budget. For pro player they can make handicap by not touching any upgrades and challenge themselves.
