Thanks for the feedback, though I don't think this game, or most things in life, is worth 'rage'ing over. I'd recommend finding a different outlet to let some of the 'rage' out if needed.
I put in a lot of time testing my own game. Sometimes the smallest change can ruin something very important, which is why I had to update to 0.71 right away, but regarding Lamia I confirmed myself that escape is possible many times. I also let people generous enough to offer their time to test and give feedback on Lamia play the game for a whole week before this release and the general response was that Lamia is in a tough, but good position.
The testers I have do seem to be of the 'hard core gaming' breed, as there have certainly been a number of suggestions and complaints regarding Lamia's difficulty since this version's release. Not sure if you'd be pleased to know(?), but Lamia will be easier in the next version release.
Hope you'll give it another shot sometime down the road if you like some of what the game has to offer. The game is constantly evolving, it'll be very rare that I get everything right on the first go around. There are tools available in-game to help reduce what some may find annoying parts of the game like Simple Load, Debug menu, and the tip screens to know exact predator locations to avoid them if desired.
