Thank you for playing our game!
Yes, unfortunately, some of the levels are nearly impassable without modifiers, it's something that sadly slipped past our checks late in development.
And while you don't truly progress when losing, since you instead lose a modifier, we do hear you and think that giving the player the opportunity to retry the level instead of immediately being given a new one would have been a good addition.
We're really happy you enjoyed our game otherwise!
