Thanks so much for the feedback. A supporter on our discord actually brought up a very similiar point, and I'll definitely look into it. One change I'll make is significantly decrease the amount of balloons that need to be dodged; and another change is to add the option to skip the black jack game. As for lack of animation on some scenes, that's because animations were a support goal on Patreon, and it didn't get unlocked until mid-way through chapter 2. Btw, all goals have been reached at this point, so that is no longer an issue.
This is my first ever experience making a game, so I'm definitely here to learn and keep an open mind. That being said, this is sorta just a side hobby of mine, although I'm surprised by the amount of support the game has gotten so far, the amount of time I can invest in it is admittedly quite limited. But I digress, if there's more you'd like to discuss, please feel free to join our discord server : )
