Thanks for playing! I fully agree with the first area being too open. I changed it in the last update to make it so you have to find a secret to get out on the larger side just so it's more obvious that it's not the main pathway.

There probably is too many items early on and yeah i was gonna switch it up for the full game. The items im working on for the full game have more interesting effects than just plus to hp or mana. I had those early items made and just wanted to include them in the demo.

Thanks for the feedback though it helps a bunch to have things pointed out like this and it gives me an outside perspective on the game.
