Same reason that I implemented a loading bar. I want you to struggle mate. Where is the fun in an easy game? But do not worry, a stat-based battle system is already being worked on as we speak. Been waiting for this comment :D
I guess I understand. Though Ive seen some pretty short games here on itchio. I love the art style btw, very unique to the lewd games scene. The two minute wait for battles though really brings me back to the dial up days in a bad way. Gonna be watching though. good luck!
