The game took the developer a lot of years to get everything done, i can see why he make it somehow hard to play, yet, that's the kind of game that I like, when it's getting tougher at the early stage and I will have to make some research about it, if a game is so easy for me to play, I do not finds the excitement of playing it.
yeah I really respect the fact that this was just one guy for 7 years.
Yes, he really did a good job that's why his impacts is showing in the game.
