Hey thanks for taking the time to play our game and leave us some feedback, it's greatly appreciated!
The combat complaint is the most common one we've been hearing and we've got some updates already in place to make it less tedious and more rewarding. The combat was one of the later additions to the project and we didn't have enough time to get it to match our plan entirely. We should have probably spent a little more time on it to get it right, but that's the good thing about game jams, you learn from your mistakes!
We'll be uploading an update in 2 weeks when the rating period is over so be sure to check back in if you like the game so far, and if you think of anymore feedback in the meantime we'd love to hear it.
