*"Some points were pointed out to me by players; without them, I wouldn't have known about them. Even as a game developer, I can't see everything at once and in real-time. Therefore, I would like to emphasize once again the importance of reporting any issues, even minor ones. This allowed me to quickly improve the game and make the gameplay even more enjoyable."
