This game is a lot of fun! I enjoyed the concept of having to survey the options available and make decisions based on what is available and what I think I can handle. There are some nitpicks that could improve the experience, such as replacing the default sound effects and particle animations with assets that better fit the retro aesthetic, plus backgrounds for the battles, but it's overall an excellent presentation and experience.
Although I did not finish the game, I do plan on coming back later because it's so enjoyable. Way to go!
