Thank you! By the item system do you mean the combat items or do you mean the health potions? The health potions can be used from the moment you get them and the items we dispersed throughout the map to make it like a metroidvania :)
I meant, items like the sword. For example, after I got it, I only used it a while later, it gives an impression of uselessness, in that sense.
ohhh that's super true. Great point. yeah, I wish I had thought more about the design aspects of the game, but I was focused on coding :)
