>I wouldn't say you need to git gud so much as just slow down a little
Yeah, I've been thinking the same seeing some folks play my own game -- the problem with DD is that even if you have goodwill towards a game (which I try to always have, trying out only entries that appeal to me at that moment), it quickly becomes unclear what are game bugs, what is design mistakes and what is just yourself not getting it.
But I come back to games that fundamentally seem cool (like yours) on subsequent DDs, looking forward to see the progress.
