Thank you so much for your comment. I'm extremely happy that you got this far and gave the game a real chance. You're absolutely right; it lacked a lot of polish to make collecting carrots fun. In a future part of the game, it's possible to farm carrots from a mini-boss.
And the cave bug unfortunately went completely unnoticed by me. I did more testing with the game after a while, and I also had that problem. It seems it didn't happen every time, so it went unnoticed in the tests.
I hope to refine this game in the future and make it better and better.
