Thanks a lot for the feedback and for beating Level 1! Glad to hear you're having fun with it.
Regarding that soft-lock: good catch. Since we're just a tiny team (mostly solo), these kinds of edge cases sometimes slip through, so I’ll definitely fix the item-selling logic in the next build.
The ‘back’ button and text skip are also great points. I'll try my best to add those in to make the game feel smoother. This jam has been a great experience so far, and I'm planning to keep improving things. Thanks for the support! (ツ)ノ
