I thank everyone for the feedback, it helps me make a better product, while i can never please everyone i have to take weigh in all the feedback and take peoples issues in consideration and make decisions based on that!

Never the less there have been a few key issues that arose and i want to address.

1. Picking up upgrades and skills is difficult while being hounded by enemies.
-While i thought adding a safe space for shopping would mostly fix this it seems this is an issue that persist, so in an upcoming update i have changed that skills and upgrades are automatically picked up when walking over them.

2. Players are too much at mercy of rng.
-Picking up a skill or upgrade will now offer a set of 3 choices, greatly increasing the odds you will get an upgrade or befitting what build you want to work towards.

There will be more in the update, but these are 2 key changes you can expect soon!
