Balancing the difficulty of the game is a delicate process. It took me a long time to get it to a point where I'm quite satisfied with it. However, it's balanced for... me. So I can understand that the game may be a little too difficult for some players.
That's why I've added this "cheater panel", where you can fine-tune three parameters to your liking if you're getting too frustrated.
In all seriousness, this is also useful during Early Access, because it helps me understand which parts of the difficulty feel fair and which parts may need more balancing. So feel free to experiment with the settings and let me know what works best for you.
Thanks again for supporting my little game!
