I liked your game very much. It was simple but fun to play. I loved the gold star mechanic, havnt seen it that often So i was super excited to craft more of them .
I have one thing to say about balance, I used the rusted knife which poisons the enemy very often. That state is super OP BUT I noticed a lot of bosses have HUGE hp pools and how is the player supposed to kill those without the poison state? I mean they can but it would take a lot of time. So nerf the hps and the state, my opinion.
Also the final boss was a bit anticlimactic cause I killed them with one shot with the knife that can insta KO, did I got super good RNG? or that 1ko is luck(stat) based? cause i had it pretty high.
Any way, your game is really good, fun to play and the length is perfect .
Oh another thing, if an enemy doesnt drop gold you get nothing at all? it felt a bit unfair, having some bosses drop a lot and then getin excited fighting the next one and bam, no gold at all.

Thank you! I plan to work on the balance once the Jam is officially over. The KO knife is set at like 40% chance, but it seems to work all the time. I plan to reduce the HP of like the second half of the bosses. Also I have a map that I had to cut out for time, which will help with the levelling. I think.
