What a gorgeous game! I'd personally love to see more challenge in the game. I was surprised there wasn't a more significant boss at the end. I might try a single familiar life challenge (reset if a familiar dies) - should be doable as far as I can tell.

I really like the clean artwork and the monster variety. Monster AI was mostly very good too, though I found the melee ones bugged out and didn't act sometimes. But the ranged ones were so much more effective anyway :)

Thanks for this!!  I really enjoyed playing.

I think most of the thoughts below are thoughts for you as you update your game, and nothing bad with what you have right now already in play.  I really like the design!

Some thoughts for you
- I think the balance is probably okay, but the pet mechanic is cumbersome to play with.
- seemed like the creatures were feast or famine.  
- with maybe 2 hits to live despite the 3 hearts, it felt like I was only able to progress with the pet out and it was more in the way than not.
- felt like there should be more immediate content where the player was and less roaming around
