Thanks for playing and giving comment Twomoon.
The combat encounters are indeed too common. Thats my bad! I turned the encounter rate up to test something in battles and didnt turn it back down before publishing. This is what i get for leaving it till the final hour to submit. A lesson learned.
Below is a link to a version with a much less painful encounter rate.
