I'm really enjoying the new early game challenges since version 4.AAAAAAAAAAHHHH. There are two points however which I think are too challenging:
* Brick oven can set things on fire. I found this to be unintuitive (the fire should be contained, right?)
* When spawned in a jungle, it's near impossible to escape without the spiders getting to you first. This leads to a cycle of deaths which is no fun at all.

Please don't confuse angst over something that affected you negatively with something that is "too challenging". There's nothing challenging about not putting flammable objects directly in front of the oven.
Same as always (it's come up many times in the past), this one isn't ideal, but the player loses very little from it. Do something else for 10 to 20 minutes instead of beating your head against the wall. I'll get around to resolving it eventually, but it's not a priority given that it doesn't cost the player anything other than perhaps a short break from the game.* When spawned in a jungle, it's near impossible to escape without the spiders getting to you first. This leads to a cycle of deaths which is no fun at all.
Also, I survive maybe 75% of jungle spawns by booking it for the nearest edge. "Impossible" is a gross exaggeration. It certainly makes things more difficult by eating into your first day time, but with the balance changes in the last release, I find it very survivable in most cases.
