Honestly a pretty cool game! Had lots of fun with it, got frustrated at times but still a good experience. Nice one! I'll definitely keep playing as you update the game more and more.

Thanks so much, man!  It truly means a lot.  I might start utilizing the Itch devlog feature to make it easier to track when an update is released, so maybe keep an eye out for that.  Again, thanks for playing and for your feedback.
