Nice work as always Thoof! This one has some really nice resource/time management aspects to it, and I really like having to skirt things off the side.
OI think making the periods between fights longer might have a better game feel, and narrative would work as it takes longer to find worthy foes.
Also as the insert it a slime it would be interesting to have a mini matching game function where the slime can eat some of the gear and if the color or type match in a set of 3 then it makes a better items of that type or color, but this a really good game already.
Thank you for making this.
