Hey :) Thank you for your feedback. I am already working on making this game much more unique. The skill system,  artifact system, the currency and some sprites will be completely reworked. I am also currently working on a story line. 

I think, and correct me if im wrong, that that is intentional on some level. Being like Forager seems like a good thing in some aspects, and as the developer already said, he is reworking some stuff to add a unique twist. I think this game will be super cool when finished!
