Thanks Sir Duck, the enemy spawns are actually random, so if you are unlucky enough for the first enemy on your first run to be a big boi then you might never finish the game. Ultimately I really struggled to accept that I needed to make it a bit more accessible if I wanted to see a good amount of people feel satisfied with the experience. It's fascinating that people either seem to immediately get it, or really, really struggle.
Anyway thanks for playing!
