Good game! My first try I took the wrong path and got to the shop before I had any gold. Second try I had enough to buy a potion, and I was able to just barely the castle. I think a bit more clarity on how many steps you are allowed on the overworld would be nice, but otherwise fantastic job!

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the game! The levels are generated with RNG, so sometimes things just don't go as planned - but it sounds like you were able to persevere and have a good second try!
Also in the overworld, once you step onto a new level, you can no longer move. You're only allowed to walk on cleared levels.
