Yeah, it was meant to be pretty difficult to begin with, but you're right. I watched my friend play it and they really struggled with the first level and then it just gets easier and easier so the difficulty curve should have been a bit better
I just played yours, it was really nice and I particularly liked the art style. One critic is I had a run where I just got cat so maybe change it so that the cat can only appear once in a row. Other than that great game
Thanks for playing my game even :)
