Thanks glad you like the game.
Ai has improved a lot since when I started, The different styles might also happen if I use Loras (special training sets for a certain thing). I could remake all the art at some point with ai and have it all look similar but it is not worth the effort for me. I rather remake it one day with hand drawn art.
1) the max health increase is not needed after stage 2 because the main game ends at stage 3 anyways and you won't have time to increase your max hp. Your problem only happens if you play an endless mode but the game is not set for that. I might make changes to the endless mode, once the main 3 stages are finished.
2) I understand the frustration but this is how Roguelikes work. Also this makes victory taste sweeter as well. I was thinking about adding a replay button for the fight you died on, but I'm not sure yet if I want that, so no promises.
I think you can just click on the close button instead of the relic? Or maybe it's only for cards like this, I'm not sure right now ^^"
For the future the endless mode is planned to have all enemies, but they need to be adjusted for that stage first or they will be way to weak. This will be implemented later after finishing the main game.
Yes, I will finish it don't worry. a V1.0 should happen at the end of 2025 or early 2026.
