It’s all about learning the caves (the first area) - once you identify enemy patterns, dangers such as traps, and how far you can drop without taking damage (for example) as a matter of muscle memory, Caves will seem super easy and a good way to scoop up resources for the next area, Jungle. And then when you first get to Jungle, you’ll be like “well this is basically impossible” until you realize Jungle is also easy and a good place to scoop up even more resources for the next area… and etc. Keep at it! I recommend playing while you enjoy a podcast or have a show you enjoy but have seen before (like I used to binge old comedies such as Frasier or Cheers).
