Great game! With an ATK=1, until you get a weapon, you really can't fight any beastie can you? Day 3 you get the phaser, but only have one attack at 9, so anything above 9 HP still can't be defeated. Am I doing that wrong? Even if there is a village up front, without any bits I can't buy anything.

I answered ya over on youtube, but so folks here see it too:
You got it, It's really hard at first. The day 3 weapon helps a lot, but can't often kill something.
So until you explore and find a weapon, or money and a village, you'll have to run away.
Thematically this makes sense, as your character has never been in a dangerous situation like this before. You don't know how to fight and being able to kill everything that crosses your path from the beginning is not super interesting to me.
I like the slow build up to being powerful. Let the journey make you stronger and until then, you gotta be a little strategic with what interacts with you!
You got this, good luck!
