Hi Jonnboy91,
thank you for the feedback! The balance definitely is very rough. I increased the difficulty with v1.0.2, hopefully it's more of a challenge now. The difficulty right now is pretty heavily affected by the random level generator and we did not have time to implement sophisticated rules to balance that out. So if you go lucky with a strong weapon at the beginning it might be super easy, but I also had runs where almost all enemies were spawned around the level exit as well as the weapons, that was really tough, haha!
Finding your old bodies really sounds like a cool idea! I also like the idea of having varying difficulties defined by where you restart. :)
