Yeah, that’s fair - I hear you.
I have been testing it, but mostly on a large screen, and I completely missed how it behaves on smaller resolutions. Just tried it on my laptop and you’re right - the UI/scaling needs fixes. I’ll push style hotfixes in the next couple of days. As for equipment - it’s temporarily disabled right now because of the new progression system. It’s being reworked and isn’t fully integrated yet, which is why it feels useless at the moment.
Sorry for the confusion and frustration - that’s on me for not communicating it clearly. I’ll get this fixed and make sure the game feels much better ASAP
