@interpol, thank you for all of your recommendations. The odds of a battle are supposed to be about 1/300, and without much going on, it can take a while until a battle happens. In the next version I plan on including the shop function, and you'll be able to buy food which, will summon a monster on the next turn. I also plan on animating the characters so that the battles do seem more turn based instead of sudden changes in health. The diagonal movement is a bug, and it's because of they way I work with the keys. It should be included in my next update with the shop and all the battle items like the potion. I also plan on adding a village in the forest and eventually a boss on the mountain of the second island. Again, thank you for your recommendations for this game and my next ones.
