The sprites in this game are amazing. I love them. Big angry boars and chill slimes and the player and the round chicken. Excellent. I love the attack animation, too. Gives me vibes of being this all powerful being but using that power to protect.
The game feels a bit too difficult right now. The chicken and player sharing a health bar feels weird. It'd be interesting to see what the game feels like if the player was immune while without the chicken.
Very clear goal and execution on your game. Well done in 48 hours! Good job!
