Thanks a lot for the feedback and great to hear you liked it! The first-hit glitch is on my radar - it's tricky to track down because it happens very rarely on my machine, but I'll keep working to resolve it.
Thank you for playing and for taking the time to share your feedback and ideas! I'll keep them in mind as I continue working on the game (and definitely take a closer look at those bugs first)
Thanks a lot for the feedback! I'm glad it made you want to keep playing. Regarding the Herald, I had some concerns that it might be missable so thanks for confirming that. I'll see how often it comes up in feedback and perhaps tweak it
