Thank you so much!
You 're correct, I have been reworking the UIs lately and been fixing some behaviors, such as the ESC keybind.
thanks for the feedback, yea I submitted very late this time.
I agree the UI feels cluttered at the moment, I need to slim it down, and fix the enemies getting stuck as well.
regarding the last point, it's honestly my first game ever so I'm simply focussing on making a game I enjoy playing (and making) instead of creating the next big hit.
