Ah, the font... 😌
The font you're seeing in the current version of the game is something like the third or fourth iteration, and I'd been wondering about its legibility still 🤔😅
The character walking without player input might be a quirk of the emulator that GB Studio uses: it doesn't like Shift or Caps Lock basically. I'd guess you may have caught Shift on accident which confused the whole thing 🤔
Regarding the intro length, I'd say the issue with it is it's unskippable at the moment. Whenever I'd finish the game, I'd be bracing myself to mash the A button to get through those text boxes to get back to the title ASAP, so that'll absolutely need an overhaul.
