I've got an upcoming update that'll include that, along with quite a few additions and adjustments.  Way more than I figured I'd have room for.  

The biggest improvement I've got incoming is that the waves will consistently move from one to the next without skipping.  Hoping to upload it tonight!

This is a poster child for constructive criticism! 

Great thoughts and incredibly thorough explanation!  Thanks for playing the game.  I'm so glad you enjoyed it.  I will have to check out Gyrus.  I've never played it.  

Seriously thank you for the feedback.  I personally liked the screen shake with low health, but I definitely see what you mean about making tracking more difficult, so I dialed it back quite a bit so it's hopefully not so distracting.

Also, I adopted (closely) your status bar recommendation and it actually opened up a lot of space to fix some things and add some features!

I hope you enjoy the changes.  I also hope you don't mind my adding you to the credits under my list of play testers!

I got stuck there too for quite a bit. Could maybe use a helpful NPC to drop a vague hint. But also it was fun to find. 

Wow! This game surprised me. Production value is amazing! Could not believe this much quality gameplay could be available for free. Definitely want to purchase the rest now! Thanks for making! Really enjoying!

I flippin loved this game. Probably played it way longer than it was intended to be played. And will very likely play it again before long. Took a little figuring and exploring before I realized how to make monsters more powerful. Which, once I stumbled across it, really loved that it’s not the standard XP system. Incredibly robust “mini”game!

This game is awesome. Loved the way you explained the controls. Haven’t finished but am really enjoying it. Everything about it feels like a good quality cartridge one could find back in the 90’s. 

Woohoo! Can’t wait! 

Loved this game.  Loved the music.  Especially loved the platformer overworld of the village itself.  

Had some glitch issue with the final boss fight, but a reset brought me right back to where I left off and was able to finish  without further problems. 

I’ll agree about critiques regarding the UI. Takes a little bit of getting used to. But once you figure it out, it’s really straightforward. That being said, I’ve never played a more immersive game on any retro console in my life. Artwork is mind blowing, music and sound subtly adds to the experience without overwhelming it. Lot’s of lore to unlock and discover. It’s just good storytelling. I was very drawn in. 

Solar Striker is one of my favorites.  I'll have to get this!
