Hey Mimi! That was my fault actually. The balance wasn't supposed to be that hard when we uploaded. But we just finished a version that is more akin to what we envision for the jam (we got too greedy with the scope this year haha). About the tutorial, completely agreed, we added it in the last day, just to avoid adding explanation on the game's description. For a full fleshed game, I would do as you suggested, for sure!
Thanks for dropping a comment and sorry for the late reply!
