The latest update was meant to address a lot of those comments - it explains the stats and suggests a build with 5-6 endurance for new players, and adds a lot of tutorial and qol stuff to make the early game less difficult. I also reduced the amount of time to research things - as I want things to move relatively quickly (this game is meant to take place over multiple generations, so years have to fly by haha).
Goxen are never immune to attacks, but I might want to Increase the hitbox - as the axe has to be pretty close right now to hit it.
