You're not alone. I tried to play the demo twice and lasted less than 5 minutes each time. I was kinda looking forward to getting to chill and play for a while without having to be frantic about it but the demo really doesn't allow for that.

hey! I already replied to the comment above but I'll copy paste for convenience:
"Hi! Oh no we really dislike the "git gud" mentality and weren't aiming for that at all. The ramp up does get pretty dramatic, it's literally exponential. The answer is that it's a demo so we were trying to find a balance between not to slow but not too fast. I guess we didn't really hit that!
We'll look into difficulty scaling and try to update it as soon as possible, please be patient with us!"
Basically we're gonna try to figure something out and make it ramp up slower!
