I love the concept of rebuilding the village as you progress and putting your collected resources to use to do it. It looks like you've heard about this a lot already, but the momentum build up when you move is a little difficult to get used to, however after playing for a bit I did get used to it. I also used P for attack when I was playing and that felt really good to use along with WASD. I did notice a bug I think, I did one run in the forest and collected 25 things and then went to talk to the guy in the village and he needed a little more grass than I had collected, so I went back into the forest to get more and when I entered into the portal screen I couldn't take the amount of grass I needed to finish that quest since I was already full. I may have missed somewhere else to drop off stuff but it seemed like I couldn't continue.
It's a very cute game and I can't wait to play it next week!
