I'm glad you like it! It sounds like you get it too, which is always encouraging to hear after releasing something. I really appreciate all of your comments.
Including the totally right on the money comment about the skills. Compared to the rest of the game, it falls flat. It's even a little jarring. I think I could come up with something that tells us more about the character and lends itself to being explored more during gameplay. I'll think on that. Sometimes I see a comment on my smaller stuff after release and go, "That's true, but it would be a lot of work for a small gain on a game I don't need to be better," but I think there's a lot of potential in a relatively small change here.
If I release an updated version (there are many other irons in the fire at the moment), I'll make a point to let you know and give you a shoutout on the game page (and maybe in a Twitter announcement).
Thank you!
