Thank you so much for playing and for the kind words!!
Yeah I can think of a lot of ways to improve and polish it, but I really didn't have enough time haha, I put in that ending 1 hour before the deadline. This is my first game and I had to do a lot of things for the first time so it was a challenge!
Also thank you for the suggestion, I'll take that into consideration if I end up working on an update after the jam.
About the step timer, idk, I considered that and thought it wouldn't work, but that's because I was thinking about it in the original scope I imagined and not in what the game became. This would probably be a great change and would make it much easier to balance.
Initially I imagined an even more ambitions version, with multiple levels, proper RPG leveling system, equipment and inventory, more enemy types, and all kinds of other stuff haha
Way too overscoped, I know. I never expected to actually deliver all that, I just thought, lets see how far I get and then I'll just build what I can out of the parts I have.
