THIS GAME IS HARD!!!

So I downloaded the trial version because I have heard good things about the game. I loved the first level and once I beat it, I wanted to beat the next levels in the game. What I should have thought about was the extreme difficulty of the next levels. After 3 hours on the second level with 5 lives on easy, I finally beat it. While I was trying to play the third level, I learned that I needed to to beat the first level before I beat the second in the ALL mode before I could get to the third level. I lost all the reason to try to play and gave up. Although, I most likely will some other time. One thing though, I actually had some fun dying over and over again. You start to get the need to beat the next level. Unfortunately, I lost that feel. Overall I think that if you want a very challenging game that could keep you busy, go for it. I'm not trying to say this is a bad game, I just think I'm bad at it and I think I have had a bad experience with it. I also think you could find a better way to spend your money, but thats just me.
