Thanks for the detailed review! It definitely is a very difficult game. As the developer, I didn’t think that the first (and second) level was too hard, as it teaches all the important mechanics for future levels. But I think I could have done a better job at difficulty balancing. I will probably add a level select after the jam, and possibly make the first couple levels easier as well. I don’t want to overhaul the difficulty of the whole game however, as it’s designed to be difficult.
