Was having a perfectly OK time until I got to a particular bridge in the second stage. It's a bridge that's only up for a temporary amount of time from when you pull a switch, and you need to run to it and pass it before the timer runs out. Once the timer runs out, the entire bridge falls at once, so you need to have fully crossed it in order to make it to the next part of the stage. I tried to cross this bridge for what felt like half an hour, and was completely bewildered by it.
This is also a game where enemies respawn the second you leave the place where they first appeared, so I had to first kill all the enemies in order to make a path, then throw the switch, then try desperately to make a perfect run towards the bridge, only to make it about 90% of the way before the bridge collapses under me. It was then that I felt like I had to look up this bridge, because I can't be going crazy, this is literally impossible. That's when I find someone with the same problem on Steam get the answer of "oh if your monitor is 144hz the bridge closes too fast to cross". So I changed the settings on my monitor to cap at 60hz, and I still could not cross it. After the like, 30th attempt I decided that I think I can live my life without having finished Kamiko.

@SlapOnToast Yeah, maybe on a day where I had more patience or if I was enjoying the game more I would try and power through it, but I just have way too many other games I could be playing instead of repeating this one thing over and over again
I remember playing this on Switch back in 2020 and I had trouble with that bridge too. Though it was for different reason. It took me till that section to realize you could just hold the run button to actually run fast. I was tapping it the whole time before I got there.
Also the respawning enemies can be a pain. There's a part in I believe the 4th level where you have to go a good amount of distance while carrying something and they just respawn a lot of enemies everytime you're going through it. It's a pain until you learn leaving just one enemy in the group doesn't respawn them which is kind of annoying to not realize for the first few times you do this section.

@Angel_Arle oh my god that the thing about leaving one enemy to stop them from spawning is insane. why would they make this game like this.
