Getting sent all the way back to the start was quite frustrating given the difficulty and made me not really want to keep playing despite the fact that I really like the game and the overall theme is great.

Thank you for your feedback. I totally understand and appreciate the comment. I have been thinking about some of the other comments about having a number of lives and restarting closer to where you died, so I will be considering how to implement something like that in the game in the future if we continue development on it.
