Hey Chezuss!
I remember your game from Brackeys too, it was great fun! And I also see you made a game about trains, which was in one of my ideas for the loop theme too - that is awesome and I can't wait to give it a go!
Woah I really love your feedback, and also grateful you took the time to dive into your thought process, it is massively appreciated!
Agree with all the panels on screen at the start of the game.
Good point on the tiny quest system, it was a last minute add and I will enhance it further in the full version!
Also yeah I wanted to get more input on the organization of passives and active abilities and am glad you pointed out your playstyle and how the game can cause some pain points with it!
Glad you liked the dark matter system. I planned to add Fishing but had no time, and other mechanics that give currencies. :) So thanks for that! I will also be adding an Equipment System with a new currency called 'Essence'. Equipment will boost your attributes, but also various stats like Drop Rate and Damage Reduction%.
And also thanks for telling me about the enhance button (above attributes). I added VFX to show that it is clickable, but it seems it wasn't clear still, so I will add a different animation.
This feedback is gold and once again, really big thanks for such a deep dive and detailed thoughtful feedback! I will update the game to address all of these post-jam!~
