Thank you so much! I'm so glad you liked it.
The question of "is this the first game I've ever made?" kinda lies in what your definition of "game" is, and perhaps your definition of "made". This is my first serious attempt at a commercial game, but I've been making shitty little RPGmaker projects ever since I was...I think around 8 or 9, and I've always been daydreaming about making games ever since I played my first. Regardless, I really appreciate your kind words. I'm especially glad you like the soundtrack so much, considering that I composed most of it years ago LMAO
And if I ever do add difficulty settings...well, shit, what you suggested is actually a really solid idea. I might run with that. Thanks a bunch.
