Sorry I posted the wrong link, so here's another post!
Working on UI can suck somtimes, and I've been postponing the settings menu due to not knowing exactly how I wanted it, but here's a quick peek at how it's looking so far, and I'm quite satisfied with it ๐Ÿงฎ

I wasn't sure if I was going to post this, as it kinda spoils some of the dungeon, but here's a peek at the bossfight in the dungeon that I've previously showcased. It's still WIP and got some placeholders, but I'd love your feedback๐Ÿฆ‹๐Ÿƒ
