Cheers, glad you enjoyed it! 😄
The 4 enemies battle was actually meant to be one of the much later encounters in the zone once you’ve leveled up a bit! It slipped through the current build so it can really hose you early, unfortunately!
After the Jam ends, will probably update it so the hard encounters don’t happen until you pass a certain trigger or reach a certain level, smoothing out the difficulty curve a bit.
(the crewmates are pacifists who don’t or can’t fight; we wanted to give them something else to do to support you, but we ran out of time!)
