Gave it another go, good work so far!
It's good that the updates you gave it didn't take away from what made the original fun. Saw you fixed that bug where the game crashed between battles, added a little menu (or was that already there?). The "wants to hurt you" description and the "someday" under settings was pretty funny.
I would recommend adding sound effects and music, and making the turns play out a little slower (it's hard to see what's going on when it's moving so fast), but this is a prototype and that'll probably be there in the full version. I'm excited to see all the characters and enemies with fleshed out designs, maybe even different personalities. I have yet to beat the hard difficulty...
Oh yeah, and check my game out if you haven't yet. I also tried to put a spin on turn-based combat: https://wasabiiii.itch.io/grass-elemental-demo-demo
This one was fun to get back to, I'll keep an eye out!
