Hey. I am happy you enjoyed it and thanks for making a video of it. I enjoyed watching it :) It was funny to see that you completed it without needing the save system at all :D I didn't have time to give play testing the attention it needed so the balancing is a bit off, especially at the end. Although, as you said, you are rewarded for thourough exploration :)
I have a long list of changes and improvements that I will do post jam and everything you mentioned will be addressed. There will be many new areas too, including the unfinished Dwarven Mines :) I wanted to make a casual and simplistic dungeon crawler but I acknowledge that it might be a little bit too simplistic at places.
The compass was indeed broken in that build. I accidentally broke it when fixing a different bug last minute. The stress and pressure was real :D
As for graphical assets. I made everything myself except the creature models. Intention was to model my own creatures but yet again.. time ran away from me. I will replace the 3rd party creatures in an upcoming version.
