Hi, Thank you so much!!!
We had so many plans to make the map more interactive and for it to be a more integral part of the game, such as findable weapons, darts, get smoothies mid fight for HP boosts, hide in the bathroom, bar the doors, set traps etc but unfortunately time ran out before we could properly test and implement them. So we thought, keep it simple for the game jam, so at least it all works ok lol. Then if people like it we can make a bigger, more fleshed out game later.
Thanks for raising the point about never moving. That's something to work on and make it more dynamic. In our testing we found fleeing sometimes was a good option - especially for my low hit point Pantherfolk who bit off more then he could chew.
I am so glad that you like the ideas behind 'The Health Bar' and our hastily done sketches :) I just hope people have fun with it.
I've already downloaded your game and am looking forward to checking it out later :)
