I like the game actually, but there are somethings that might be a bit too much. After every step i barely managed to get somewhere until i got attacked again, maybe give us more time to walk around. Also i did not know at first that i could go trough the trees, but then i can't go trough the cactus? This was a bit confusing. I like the little walk animaiton. There might be too much plain text. The overall idea is good, a story based rpg where you have 5 min to save the world before ending right back where you started! A never ending hero journey! Also very good job doing all this in only 4 days and then completley alone! *gives you a cookie* I am proud of you! Good job!

Ah, yeah, the encounter rate can be a bit much (or too little) at times; if I continue to work on this, I’ll definitely add something to balance it out and make it feel fair and well-paced. Ah, that’s a good point about the cacti. I should probably just make them walkable tiles, and maybe see if I can make it clearer that trees can be walked through. Thank you so much!
An idea on how to make it noticable to walk trough would be place something of interest in the middle of the trees, visible to ppl when they come near the first part of the forest. Make sure it is being circled by the trees, so the player has no other choise and try going inside. But rly interested what you come up with next! Keep going! Good work!
