    Hi Guys, I recently spoke to a dev by sending the zhero facebook page a message.

    The first response I got was this:
    "Hi, we're working on making the game a bit easier or in general a bit more balanced. More check point in the most difficult part and slightly easier. It's a bit surprising that people are stuck at Easy, but we're listening and we
    hope this will make the game more enjoyable for people. There should be an update coming up in the next few days."

    I continued to chat with them for a while and received other responses such as:

    "I understand, the part with the 4 cows is gone and we'll tweak other areas as well. Thanks for the feedback, it's really important to know from the users what works and what not, in the end you're the ones that should enjoy the game. Especially for a small studio like ours it's really important. Thank you for your time."

    And so i urge you if you feel like this game is ridiculously difficult, needs more checkpoints / health etc. Please message them because they do seem keen to update the game to make sure we enjoy it.

    Cheers everyone. toast

    Agreed. I was just playing Level 1-5 with the timer on Easy, and it's not the enemies that get me; it's the damn conveyor belts. I feel like they didn't even play-test that level while playing as Mike! It's impossible for me to make the last jump onto regular ground. angry

    I had a lot of problems with the jumping sections until i realised i wasn't sprint jumping, i don't know if that helps you or not with that section?

    I haven't tried again yet, but I think that may be the solution. I get my speeds confused when on the conveyor belt. I contacted them via Facebook too; they seem pretty helpful and are very quick to reply.

    They're also addressing the achievement issues - thank the Holy Lord.

    From their twitter today:

    "Hi everybody! Thank you for all your feedback.We're working on difficulty balancing, achievements and other improvements. Patch coming soon.

    12:57 a.m. - 20 Jan 2016"

    Yeah I'm glad to see they are so responsive. I think if we all put across our thoughts constructively they will happily try to sort the issues.

    Good to hear the update is coming soon. There is really no point in me even trying to play any more until then. Each frustrating loss at the stupid 4 cows section is killing any enjoyment I had for this game. Hopefully I can get a new appreciation and sense of satisfaction playing the updated version. I do enjoy challenge, but this game just feels wrong as it is.

    i cant wait for them to fix it my one achievement say done unlocking u have to wait for it to unlock I hope we can do everything in co-op that be awesome

    My thoughts are they should have tested this game before release, all faith in this game and developer lost. Probably will never revisit the game so won't ever load the patch!!

    I hope they fix everything no checkpoints on 1-8 u have to start the whole level over and cant pass the part with the spinning thing and the blue guy

    If the devs are "surprised cant do easy" maybe they should release internal play through times and advanced tutorials, to show correct way to play. Would work as PR for the game too.
    Aint tried it yet, but by the way you guys are talking, is this Ikuraga / Metal Slug level difficulty??

    Damn did they even test the game before they released it? I mean only 22 people have beaten the game on easy and no one at all has beaten it on the higher ones.
