Thanks for playing and the feedback.
Glad you enjoyed the world building. My partner is a storyteller who loves to make rich worlds where every character has a name and backstory.
We are working to update the art and add more variety to the backgrounds. As you progress we plan to have the environment change, with different types of trees, and then leaving the woods. For now we just have a bunch of pre-made segments that are 2 screen widths wide, which are randomly selected from. Later there will be a world map as well. Random events are also planned for while you travel.
We plan to redo the tutorial to streamline it in the future, now that we have the popup based one in place. The 2 "enter" icons are shown because the number pad enter is a different physical key, and so shows separately in the list.
At the moment there is no equipment for the Slimes. You eat all items to use them. For the player, all items are single use consumables. We are working to add a secondary, Slime focused, description to all items to help with the confusion on if the player should be able to equip the human weapons and armor on their Slime party,
We are working on ideas around shops, but the main use of all the extra loot is going to be fulfilling the main quest of feeding your Clan by sending it back. There is more to it than that, but that part is a WIP.
