Thank you for playing the game!
The difficulty is quite tricky to get right if you don't have a QA team available, but I do agree - there is a learning curve that makes the game feel easier once you understand the mechanics that are not obvious/not explained in the entry tutorial section, but as a developer who had made the curve and got used to it this is quite difficult to see.
I was planning on making the tutorial better and more interactive and after the jam is over I do plan to revisit the game to improve some features, fix some bugs and work on the code. Thanks for leaving valuable feedback!
