A very cool idea! I liked being able to try to balance the pro's and cons of using certain weapons, tools, etc. to find the right combination that will move them along. I ran into an issue a few times with the crafting menu's button for resuming isn't placed in the right spot so it caused me to quit the game which was unfortunate because I had to redo my progress. Also this game would massively benefit from a tutorial/way to know what each items is valued at. I like the art style!
