Fun little cute game! Had fun playing it. But when you get behind especially later in the game, it was somehow impossible to get back. But it was just a small game jam project. Well done :)
True, if you just barely make it through a fight, you're most likely in trouble on the next one if you don't get a lucky game changing event. There is already a bit of nudged chances for some scenarios but I guess it wouldn't hurt to add more of such when you're really under the curve to give you at least a fighting chance. Just gotta design it so that it can't be abused either.
