I think something that is lacking is a reason to fight enemies. Fighting an enemy is always the worst option, and the player is usually better off going to a shop where they can't make a purchase than fighting an enemy.
Love to see you back! Thanks for trying it out!
1.3 adds a few changes, mostly enemies now drop gold, shops are a bit more rare, but there is a fixed one you can find at ever once in a while. Hopefully that will help with fighting enemies for gold!
Also you can now store 2 weapons, so cheese-nig weakness is more feasable!
