Hi Lone Spelunker.
First of all thanks for the kind words. I think you're right in a lot of what you said about the speed of progress, and you're not the only one. It was a game jam game so unfortunately balancing took a back seat. But that's the next task. As is saving.
Itch.io has just introduced devlogs for games so please follow that for future updates.
And yes, the Witch will be getting some personality in the next update :)
