What exactly gave you problems?
The most important thing is to read all the information the game gives you. That's why most people die to the snakes on the first levels. They don't know how to surprise an enemy.

Dying a lot is really a core mechanic. It took me years of on and off playing to beat it the first time. For me dying in a stupid way by crazy interactions is a lot of fun. You have to remember your past deaths to avoid the same fate again.
Tip: Reflect on your run. Think about what you could have done differently. It's a lot of work but very rewarding and a real life skill that is very valuable.
