We are so happy you noticed the "Dragon Quest" feeling the game have! This series mean a lot to us, and we are glad you were able to spot the DQ references in it.
Yeah indeed, Golden Penguins are always quite angry haha! It's a reverse "Metal Slime" : In Dragon Quest, the metal slime always try to run from you, but here, the Golden Penguins wants you to run! Unfortunately, you have no choice but to fight them in this game.
And we understand about the pattern, by simplicity and the short amount of time we spend on the game (2 days to create it), our first choice was to put all the informations in the HUD, but we take note of this advice, and I have to admit your totally right, we will certainly changes that later!
Thank you very much for your review! :)
