Thanks Human!
I greatly appreciate you playing through and taking the time to leave such detailed feedback, and that you dug the 'googoo gagas' and arts :D
I really like your discoverable lore idea! Honestly the only reason the intro text even exists is because of the 'Writing' judgement criteria. My vision was to tell the story with sounds, symbols, and images, since the protagonist is a baby. But I didn't want to get 1-starred on writing so made a point to add a little.
So far the most common request from players is some kind of a dodge/damage avoidance mechanic, so that is high on my list of possible improvements. As it stands damage is reduced significantly by the armor, but cannot be avoided completely.
