No need to apologize! That's what playtests are for, to surface these things so I feel like if you found the feedback useful, that's all that matters.
I totally agree I play too conservatively 😂 in this game or any game.
I also admit I played the game backwards. You had the modes in the right order, but for whatever reason when I read the description I thought the difficulty was reversed--but after playing the modes I see I was wrong.
Yeah I feel like being able to communicate things clearly to a player is such a challenge, especially as the developer where everything already makes sense to you. But that's why I wanted to record the video, it makes the players thoughts more obvious.
Yee! Yee!
