There is a difficulty option, but I put it in the settings for some reason. You have to enter the game, then press Esc to change it. First full game for a jam, sorry for the confusing way to do it.
I appreciate you trying it out!
Thanks! I switched it to easy and was able to finish the game :) I like how the music evolves alongside the little messages at the bottom of the screen (though as things started to speed up I didn't quite catch all of them because I didn't want to be vaporized haha). Good entry, I look forward to playing what you make in the future!
