Thank you for the comment I really appreciate the detail you went into, and 100% agree with all your points! I have noticed other people who i showed the game to out of the jam had similar issues with the tiles not being clear (I'll blame my 1st time pixel art skills there)
To spoil the balance meter, you just take a hit of damage, nothing too exciting and not even an animation as it was a last minute feature to combat the shift being a bit bland lol, but I'll defo look at the balance's balance
Again really appreciate the comment and checking it out!
