The dev is trolling us telling us not to grind. If you die once, you ending is tainted and you have to play through the entire game again (I think, didn't actually have the heart to redo it), so grind away! :p
Otherwise a very nice game ;)
Liking it so far! Game gets very laggy on larger maps when the screen is full of buildings and mini ships. Maybe a quality setting for us poor people with slow pcs? :-)
We're so glad you liked it! Thanks for playing!
