Promising game, but like Draggy said there's lots of bugs and issues right now that made me stop playing after a short while:
- Clover's text box got stuck onscreen on my first attempt, and I couldn't close it, but pausing and unpausing the game allowed me to move around with the text stuck onscreen.
- Your health and stamina don't seem to start regenerating until you die once or win a battle, which is really weird.
- Enemy encounter rates are too high given how slow the battles can be.
- Battle speed with 1 enemy isn't really a problem, but against multiple enemies every turn takes a looong time to play out thanks to all the text boxes delaying actions and animations.
- Health and stamina regenerating even when you stand still encourages you to just idle the game for a minute after every battle to get back to full. How about if you only recovered these when you moved?
Yea indeed you enter your first battle with 0 Life and die from the very first attack if you don't use up several healing potions before from the very beginning, so indeed your life and stamina for attacks start to regenerate only after your first battle has been won. Also - the game doesn't tell you that you can use potions in battle, I found that out by accident. Also - that potions of sturdiness which cost me 29 coins was a waste of money - it promised to increase armor in battle, and I used it during the battle but nothing changed at all. Its effect was shown on the dragon, but enemy attacks from crabs and salamanders did the same damage to me as before I used it, 2 and 1 HP respectively, so it was a waster of turn (and money).
I'll probably play this game a little more some time, these are just first thing I noticed by playing it around 20 minutes. I love anything dragon-related so forced myself to play it despite its shortcomings. Random encounters indeed happen way too often, I get seriously hurt after a battle with 2 crabs and salamander where a lot of my attacks miss and enemies get critical attacks 2-3 times, barely survive, then just start moving to collect coins or explore the level and new battle starts! And this happened several times already. I had to use potions to survive, and now I have to stand in one place and wait for the dragon's life to regenerate to continue without risk.
From the beginning of the game Lady Bug had 0 HP (Life) and was not regenerating health until I found potions in inventory and used lots of them to heal her. And I noticed that life started to regenerate automatically after the 1st battle only, not before. Kinda weird. Maybe need to restart the game out of curiosity and see what happens if I enter the 1st battle with 0 Life. Also what's wrong with those random encounter rate? Sometimes I stand in one place and only take one step and enemies attack! Right after previous battle, so I didn't restore much life and died! Need to make random encounter rate more fair, not so that you only start moving after the last battle where you got hurt and enemies attack at once, even having pre-emptive strikes on you. I hate dying unfairly like that
Started the game, really loved the beginning as a fan of dragons but after this nothing happens, this text doesn't disappear and the dragon doesn't move. Though exiting the game and reloading it by clicking "continue" allowed me to continue playing. I was already thinking the bug would be unavoidable

Will definitely try it again if things get fixed.
