Thank you for the very detailed review! I understand most of your complaints except you saying I should have added healing out of battle. You get fully healed after every battle, so I found no use to add healing items outside.
Did you notice the other healing spells you got at the start of every dungeon? There was a message that said you earned it at the start. If you were only using the mint heal, that would definitely be rough lol.
I worked very hard on creating my own music and graphics, so the time for sfx \ custom animations was running very thin. I can see how that was a bummer. This was simply due to the nature of the contest and being a one man team haha.
Thank you again for the review, I appreciate all of your feedback and hope you had fun playing my weird game!
