HAHA, I originally intended to throw the curses at a particular enemy who would throw some back in turn in a fighting game manner, but as our graphic artist was busy this jam, I had to do without graphics, so I just went with total minimalism and thus accidentally created this freedom for players to interpret the insults in various ways with full plausible deniability for me as dev - I would obviously never dare to insult my kind players… Or at least, you can’t prove it :-p
I’m amused that players like you chose to interpret the curses as personal attacks that fueled them to do better - that’s really awesome :) As the other reviewer put it - “I seem to respond well to a firm hand” - I’ll keep that in mind for future games, MUHEHEHEHEHEHE
Thanks for playing!
