Hey! Thanks for playing!
Yeah the game is more on the tougher side, and requires a little more time to learn and get used to. It's tricky to get a perfect balance for games that aren't you're typical A to B game.
Understandably, it can get frustrating losing progress upon deaths.
That being said, I do hope you return to it to give it another try! See it as a challenge :). Cheers!
