Thank you so much for the feedback. I'm really glad you like the look of the game, credit to our excellent artist Sophia!
I agree, we would love to make it more of a story-based platformer, and finding more ways to incorporate story would be great. The combat does need to be more interesting, and it needs tuning overall as the scorpions take a few too many hits to kill and at the same time aren't that threatening.
Thanks again :)
