Hey there! First of all huge thanks for feedback. It always helps a lot hearing what the community thinks and bug reports are also extremely welcome and I will make sure they are fixed in the next update.
Secondly, right now I am working on a general "quality of life" update and a lot of things you mentioned (that were somewhat rushed initially) I will be expanding upon, redoing, or at the very least adding some polish. So good timing with the comment because it again helps a lot and it confirmed some of my suspicions about certain things (mainly the xp thing you mentioned).
Have a good one my guy and thanks for the help. <3
