So I'm really excited to take part in next month's devnull challenge. I've been playing on that server the last few days and getting the hang of the special challenges. I gotta say that I was leary at first, but they are a welcome addition. Except Grue.

Grue has killed me 2 out of 4 runs so far. The first time was just plain not fair. They need to warn you that 'you will actually die for realsies if you keep going'. It should just start hurting you every step until you die (Don't Starve style). This way we'd at least have some proper feedback for the Grue mechanic.

The second time I died, I knew what I was doing but a candle wouldn't light. Ehhh, felt cheap even then.

Thoughts on this? Anyone agree?
