Great game, but fix item bug.

I love the game a lot because of all the different options and character variety. However, the item system does not work as when you are supposed to buy an item it doesn’t work because you buy it but the item but you don’t get it.

Price?

I bought the full game on steam and wanted it on mobile too, but when I click “buy the full game” in the app it never shows a price, and I’m not going to gamble if it’s cheap or not

Unique Game

All the different parts of the game make it extremely fun to play, even if you’re playing it for hours straight.
