Were you not able to read the instructions on the wall?

My immense frustration was largely due to the fact that yes (of course) I was able to read the short instructions on the wall.

What I could not do (for more than 3 minutes straight, iirc) was execute those instructions in the proper manner to get Cuphead to do what I wanted.
