Thank you very much! I really appreciate your kind words. :)
You're totally right on the story part. To be honest, it wasn't supposed to be a giant text dump, I wanted it to be more like comic panels/pages with drawings and dialogue. But, I way over-scoped and something had to get cut. Maybe I'll go back and clean that up if I have some time. Even players who've kept up with this "series" would probably find that text dump embarrassing.
Your comments about full movement range got me thinking too. I was initially very locked into the idea of a "chase", but the gameplay became more about collecting energy. Maybe I'll give it an update with full movement to see how that feels. Touching the faerie will cause large damage, so players don't just camp it for orbs, haha.
Really good feedback, thank you! I hope to incorporate it into an update, time willing.
