Omg, this is really stupid ahahah. We uploaded files to itch, but forgot to upload there)
Thanks very much for responses! It helped a lot)
The actual gameplay is tense and the points constraints are brutal. However, with such tight timing you could definitely improve the "hitboxes" of the buttons and items. When you try to refill your stock you have to click all over the button just to find the spot where it will work. Same with the items pictures. You try to drag and drop quickly, but you miss at least one pixel of the picture and the item is not picked up. Which kinda breaks the flow.
The mood is there and it works really well.
The gameplay is cool and really creative, but i found it a bit difficult for me (I didn't even figured out that you could buy stuff). Maybe you can provide more feedbacks to the player with a timer and an explanation for buying stuff ?
Otherwise, it is really impressive, congrats !
One minor nitpick would be that the icon for the restock points feels a bit out of place - a medival gold cup just doesnt fit the setting.
I like the main game loop idea and the mini battle visualizer on the top its really charming.
And yep:"A grim imagining of a bad situation." Gread job!!!
Feels like I got destroyed a bit at the start then balance never changed, could be a bug?
The idea is very nice!
Could definitely use a couple extra levels, I would have loved to keep playing ;)
Took me a failed playthrough to get that I had to double-click to buy, might wanna change that to single clicking (I also think speed is more important here than preventing accidentally buying something).
Overall great game!
