Early Access Review
[[Suggestions/ideas included!]]

This is BY FAR the most fun I've had in a game in a long time, especially when playing with other people. The atmosphere is surprisingly tense and creepy for a game with such a simple premise and cute playable characters.
I adore all the little details added in (like the voice pitch-shifting, getting flushed in the toilet, the love potion etc.) and shows a lot of love and passion went into this game!

There are some issues I've noticed however, like singleplayer is REALLY hard and overly punishing when it comes to death, and starting from the beginning every time seems a bit unfair. I'd like to experiment with how I play but I always end up being overly cautious because I don't want to die and lose everything.
If there was an option (or "easy mode" lol) so you just restarted the level rather than your entire playthrough would be a thoughtful addition to noobs like me.

[[Also I'm not sure if this is intentional but is the Trudge supposed to be able to kill you through a wall? I've died 3 different times this way.]]

There are a couple of things I wish were in the game:
-- More level variety (which is something I see they're working on in their newest announcement! I can't wait!)
-- Health packs (or other health items) being available naturally in the levels to some extent. Doesn't have to be much, just something that can give you 10+HP to help you in a hard level.
-- I wish that the stamina recharge time could be upgraded. Either as its own upgrade or it could be improved as you stacked the regular stamina upgrades.
-- A way to temporarily track a monster while on a map (especially in the harder levels). A tracking drone (with limited energy) you could attach to a monster could be another neat addition to your arsenal.
-- An "extra life" item/upgrade. Could function like being revived at an extraction point/in the truck that leaves you with 1HP, but still gives you a chance to finish the level (especially in single player).

I look forward to seeing what comes next!
