Okay I'll change the default number of lives for easy to 3 and make a very easy mode with 6 lives. Thanks for letting me know because I've played those levels so much it's hard for me to determine if they are too difficult.
Edit: I have the changes done, but I also cleaned up a lot of the code so I'll need to throughly test the changes before updating. If I don't run into any issues tomorrow I'll push the update.
