### [Quality of Life]

* Winning a battle does not reward the player with Ritz.
* Fixed a bug in the inventory management.
* Fixed a bug when accessing the settings' menu, the audio values would change themselves randomly.
* Fixed a bug where the settings' menu navigation bar would disappear if the player didn't save their changes and pressed no at the confirmation window.
* Fixed a bug where the player would have to press space twice to interact with something (if they had the option activated in the settings' menu).
