Thanks for playing it Nekolag, I'm very happy that you enjoyed it! I've worked with pixel art for a solid year now, so I'm starting to get good at it. I'm finally getting to the point where I can animate something in hours instead of days!
Real time interactions and more item variety are some of the features I'm planning for v2 of the game.
I definitely wanted something easier to get into than my last year's submission, I've learned my lesson about having too many stats and mechanics after making Secrets of the Bastion.
