Hey, thanks for those nice words. I would love to continue to explore level variants as well as general balancing. I like the damage numbers as feedback, but entirely agree that they are too big. If I do this next year, no typography might have to be a goal (or me just being better at creating small resolution font usage).
If you are serious about takes on VS, I’m working with a group on a VS’esque project (entirely different code base, engine, not minimalist, etc). We will be looking for good play testers and constructive feedback. Lemme know if you are interested.
