Actually (not to toot my own horn, but I'll at least polish it a little), the premium version has all of those fixes (lani needs to be wearing the Eyes to avoid xp from the chicken event, but there are alternatives that allow quick stat gains). It's only avaliable through patreon right now, but you can see some previews in the most recent devlog.
I'm still not entirely sure how I'm going to approach putting premium versions on Itch, though (with the way things are going with payment processors). I'm thinking I may put up a second listing that is not indexed and link to it from here... we'll see.
