If the battle has numeric controls for blocking and other actions (assigned to 1,2,3...) the game would be more fun to try and optimize.

Exactly, clicking on the buttons is so slow. I want to be able to use keyboard keys.

It would be too easy for the geeky audience then :)

That being said, I'm so plugging my proper gaming mouse (that's normally used on my gaming desktop as the elder gods intended) into my laptop to do battle as soon as i get home...

its an endgame shop perk, costs 150 clovers "Adds keybindings to block" ;)

document.addEventListener('keydown', (event) => {

  // Map the keys '1', '2', '3' to array indices 0, 1, 2
  const keyMap = {
    '1': 0,
    '2': 1,
    '3': 2
  };

  // Check if the pressed key is 1, 2, or 3
  if (event.key in keyMap) {
    const targetIndex = keyMap[event.key];
    
    // Dynamically fetch the buttons currently in the DOM
    const buttons = document.getElementsByClassName('block-button');
    
    // Ensure the button exists at that index before clicking
    if (buttons[targetIndex]) {
      buttons[targetIndex].click();
    }
  }

});

This works better if you change "block-button" to "attack-button", because you need to attack far more than block.

Once you get past the first level you're never using the attack action

I don't get it, aren't you supposed to attack to get the enemy HP down? How else are you supposed to win?

A spoiler, but higher level numbers gain auto attack.

You need to change the numbers you bring into battle to have at least one star

This script doesn't work for me, and mouse-based battle makes me want to throw the entire computer out the window.
