Use of the limitation
The limitation is incorporated into the story, as my game doesn't have combat. "It died in one hit" is a crucial aspect of the plot.

How was your experience with Mini Jam?
I wish I could have made music for this. It feels so quiet... Blegh, if only I had time!! I started too late!

I really enjoyed this game! I know you said you wish it had music, but I thought it was great on its own! The art style is great! I loved your use of shaky text to convey emotion, and the transitions for the cutscenes were awesome! Overall a great job! And a great concept!

Cute game, love the pixel art and sound design, and the palette was used really well. The game had a really chill vibe and was more relaxing than many of the other entries. I do wish I had some firmer idea of where the game would end up from the beginning, but that might just be my impatience talking. Overall a charming and friendly experience worth having, and a great submission for the jam.

Developer

Thank you!! <33 I'm flattered by all that! Thanks a bunch!!
