Software used
MK2D, a custom engine made in Java 17. GIMP for graphics.
Use of the limitation
Were the mechanic to be fully implemented in time, the player would have to make choices about whether to risk death to find more valuable items or to leave safely and return to an easier run. The bones are there.

I'm on Windows 11, and it just won't open. Doesn't throw me any errors though, just completely fails to launch the application.
I have some strange problem on macOS 10.13.6. You wrote that there may be problems, but I'm just letting you know. I would be interested in playing this game. I have made my own engine based on pygame-ce and used it on this jam. I can praise you just for this decision to make your own engine. Good job.
MacOS should be able to run the game using the fallback AWT pipeline. The recommended default pipeline uses JNI and is compiled for Windows & Linux from C. I patched the error you sent, but in the process found out that the implementation specifics of the AWT pipeline messes up the latter half of the game. It has a different tick rate and a non-perceptual color space, all-in-all I would consider it even more unplayable with AWT. So instead of just pushing a lazy patch for that error you sent, I will try to get the JNI pipeline running on MacOS.
The game requires Java 17 or greater. To run the game, simply double click the JAR or do java -jar etk-VERSION.jar in a terminal. Tested mainly on Linux, performance on Windows or Mac is not guaranteed to be great. Will hotfix for windows if I have time.
