Some games are just supposed to be harder, it's how they were designed. Developers shouldn't have to come out and address anything. If it's too hard for you, just refund it and move on to another game if you don't have the patience to learn it.

Let me fill up the negative space in that comment...I want Silksong to be hard. I want to do things dozens of times before succeeding, I want to struggle then overcome

It's all skill based. You get better, your character gives you more breathing room, but ultimately you have to learn and overcome each new challenge

And that feels amazing, it's not for everyone but I don't want a way to make it easier... It would cheapen the experience to even have the option

I've been stuck at last judge for hours. I perfected the runback and stage 1 and I feel I'm getting closer. Soon I'll beat that oversized bug and get to the citadel and it will feel great!

It will! That one took me a while too, but it opens up a lot
