it feels very complicated at the beginning. I kept thinking "why are there so many buttons to do simple things?" the 3-screens long wall of text introduction doesn't help either, it's too much information at once that can't be fully understood unless you've played a bit the game, then things start to make sense but it's too hard to understand to be able to play properly. Also when digging the crystals kept falling on the ground and I couldn't pick them up, and the enemies didn't damage me at all for some reason.

The art and the mood are very nice but the experience was very confusing overall :(

Nice work! Amazing graphics and mood! I'm confused at first (maybe more direct guide). But still nice work! I like it!
