Oh, gosh! Thank you for such a well-thought-out comment, we really appreciate the feedback!
I'm really unsure why those issues arose (besides some UI stuff like white-text-on-white background or the tiny elements on the bottom). I actually noticed some stuff while playing through the web version just to test it, like sprites taking a second to load for the first time, so any laggy pauses or choices being selected could be a problem from running it on web (which was a last-minute option admittedly!) with the downloaded version running more smoothly... then again, it might just be that I don't know how to optimize renpy games! This was my first time compiling one! Pauses like that definitely weren't intended, in any case. ; w;
We've talked about expanding it further and I think we all want to!!! I have a story I really want to tell and a bunch of writing left-over that I had to cleave from the final build. We're just all a little tired and busy for our own various reasons, but I'll be back at it before you know it!
Also yes. Felicity is designed to be the most The Most he can be. :3
