Please describe how your game fits with the theme of the MGDP Game Jam.
You can use potions, bombs, throwing bombs, melee weapons, and other items in this game to level up and become stronger. However, each item and weapon has a weight. Weak weapons are light so you can run with them while strong weapons are heavy and slow you down. The player should consider their choice. Changing to a more powerful weapon is not always a good idea.
Not switching to a stronger weapon when necessary is also a bad idea. Here, maintaining balance and choosing which weapon to use when is crucial.
