My wife agrees with you about being sent to the beginning. Ironically I'm not very good at performers so I worked on the assumption that to appeal to the average player the game should be too hard for me to finish. I did make sure that I could actually complete each individual level with enough tries though. The code is locked during the rating period, but when's the jam ends I'll probably add in a Celeste style respawn and split the difficulty levels into 4 modes instead of 3.
