I'm really happy that you had a good time! I always try to do something different with the art and gameplay in each of my projects, so it's very reassuring to hear that you liked both!
The "stand in place and attack" option is something I'm working towards adding either in v2 or a patch. Instead of the current system of giving a limited number of direction suggestions, players will get to make movement lists and add items twice in a fight. I'm also adding in-game explanations for some of the resources and what they do.
