I like that you decided to make a game about keeping something alive while it's also trying to kill you. The knockback and acceleration helped make it interesting. Nice title screen, too. I think this could really have a creepy-cute vibe, especially if you added some sound effects and background art. \n\nThe current version of this is a very basic prototype, but I can see you had some cool ideas and I would be interested in seeing it expanded.

As you call it a prototype I guess you didn't have time to finish your project.\nIndeed In the level I don't know what to do or where to go. Hearts give life, the wife can kill monsters but takes damage but I can't figure out how to heal her. Maybe you didn't have time to finish the gamplay or maybe I just didn't understand.\n\nThe idea looks good and shows potential. The graphics are well done too, cute pixel art, although I am not a fan of the thumbnail","likes":2,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Papaver","author_uid":"1008356","time":"2020-04-24T21:42:46Z","epoch":1587764566,"modified":1587764566,"text":"I tried many times, and I think I finished the game, although I still don't fully understand her movements. :sweat_smile: \nI think it's quite an interesting mechanic that you have to keep her close to heal her, but not too close.

I replayed yours and found it unique in both its mechanics and art. It was a real challenge to have your wife help you while she can also hurt you.
