I love the story of this game which drove me to try to complete it, but in all honestly, I find this game too annoying to continue. (I just got glide and stopped after getting stuck in the "secret room" for reference.) I feel like the controls are too touchy, but after switching movement to wasd, it was much easier for me. I feel like the game is neither too difficult nor too easy, but making sure you land on those little one-space squares, or trying to jump over things in a very confined space, is, for lack of a better word, annoying. I also understand that it seems to be an issue I have with all of these 2-D retro style RPGs with very specific respawn points.
Tl;dr: The mobs are too easy for this game to be hard, so its just annoying when you die and so on.
