Thanks for the feedback!
It's true that the game can be slow/fast depending on which upgrade was selected. I guess it's the tradeoff of not having a completely linear upgrade tree.
I wish I could find a good solution for the grinding-previous-level. It somethingthat annoys me but it's the downside of how the map is done (ex: having a forest level). I tried to fix this with some upgrade to the hermit "wild growth" but it's more like a patch fix.
The wild growth was good! I guess I just didn't have the right priorities and I unlocked it a little late but I think it can work well! (Honestly it's probably my fault because I delayed getting the hermit root upgrade because I wanted to up my gold gain... maybe making the root a bit cheaper could work? idunno) Despite this, I still had a very good time! The pace never felt like actually painfully slow, just a bit of a bounce which is fine for me.
