Thank you so much for such a nice comment. It really means a lot! We are happy that the tone and gameplay have resonated well with you, we spend a long time trying to tune the flow and mechanics. It's true that throwing is a bit wonky, but if it is any consolation it used to be several orders of magnitude worse. There was a point where throwing had no honing ability, no added force and the hit box was waaaay smaller. Going forwards we have talked about maybe making some indication or pointer of the relative throw direction, to give the player an idea of how the throw will be.
Anyway, thanks again for playing and commenting, it is super inspiring to read! :-)
