Thanks for playing and for the review! Yea, balance was very difficult for us this game since some people think the game is too hard and others think the game is way too easy. We erred on the side of being easier to give most people the chance to see the end of the game.
For the 2.0 updated version I think we will have more customized (and streamlined) controls (based on all of the great feedback we've gotten), and I think that will make the controls more accessible which should allow us to dial up the difficultly again without frustrating players.
Glad you enjoyed playing!
