Thanks so much for playing and for the great feedback!
Yeah I didn't get to play around with the turn order very much. Speed potions will make you faster but it is brutal in the beginning.
I might simplify the amount of crafting or at least have it only show what you have ingredients for, but I did want you to see what was possible and plan future runs from there.
I will admit the battle animations come as default with RPGMaker but I did tweak them a bit to suit my needs.
