Hello! I like the art style, and just wrote down my initial reactions as I played it
I wanted to be able to pan the camera with the mouse, not just WASD
Theres no consistent way to close ui
I wanted to be able to hover on the map to identify points of interest and didnt think this was possible, as I was too impatient to wait for the hover (why is there a delay?)
I went to the town, traded away my rope to rest, and then had no idea what to do next. I tried to explore, exhausted again, no items, keeps throwing away items => and now I have 0 gold and cannot rest(?) Also, trying to do anything shakes the screen and informs me i'm exhausted, which I already know but can't do anything about (!). At this point I tried to restart the game to restart the run, but
It turns out it saved my progress, and im not sure if I can restart my progress.
I kept just trodding on (which feels too over the top), gained some mental injury, and the run ended. There still doesnt seem to be a way to restart
I started the game again (and wanted to skip the unskippable intro), and it appears I've started the game with 0 items and 0 energy (as its from my last successful save). It appears I am done!
Thanks so much for testing it @Turtwiggy, on each of your points:
Will add pan with the mouse
Will add a consistent way to close UI (e.g. a cross in top-right corner, and press-ESC to exit)
Will reduce/remove tooltip hover length for island elements. Just an FYI you can press TAB to highlight all island elements.
Just on that, will add a controls / instructions page to the menu that explains that!
After you're exhausted, you should pretty rapidly lose the game (i.e. gain an injury, then die and reach the Game Over screen). Clearly that wasn't happening, I'll need to check this!
Yes progress is saved - will add an 'Abandon Run & Exit' button to the Menu
Will make the intro skip if you have already viewed it!
Hi Turtwiggy, just an FYI I have added 'Instructions & Controls' and 'Abandon Run' items to the in-game menu. I will prioritise skipping the introduction and saving Settings over the next few days.
I would really appreciate any feedback if you get the chance on the new Instructions & Controls item (it will open up following the starting screen).

incredibly difficult to understand. also can't move more than two tiles at a time for some reason.
Thanks for testing @sicave, we will add an instructions / controls page to the menu to explain how the game works!
