Great feedback! Thank you for taking the time to leave me a message! It's awesome to hear you're planning to return to it later!
Yeah, fighting definitely feels a bit static and, it's likely going to be challenging to change that while still keep the game minimal and browser friendly.
Meanwhile, the game evolved quite a bit on the official website. It now features advanced crafting and online features like a live marketplace where players could actually collaborate to reach high-value items. I'm planning to release that version on Itch.io as well, but I have to see how the online part fits the platform. I have a feeling that, for the online version, it's likely best to be released as a separate game, so feel free to follow me to get to play notified, if you're interested. It's even more fun to play with other people :)
