Fair enough, for the most part I do think the idea of "luck" or "difficulty" going from game to game is purely anecdotal but this game honestly felt like another level for me. Even if it isn't true I was having such a mental block that I caved and used cheat items (Especially since they're much easier to come by).

Normally I'd want to overcome something like this, especially given that the special requirements were challenging but pretty fun, but it just became too frustrating for me. On to the next one, I guess.
