Ahh that was it. I would recommend highlighting the bench to draw attention to it and also since the enemies using the same sprite as the player, I would recommend a way to indicate it's an enemy. ie red tint.
Thanks for the feedback! I have a small post-jam patch ready that includes some highlighting to the workbench. The enemy sprites have similar colors to the player's, but are actually unique. I might test new colors make them more distinguishable, though.
