i goofed up at the win screen sadly. i'm going to change it after the jam ends. it says
"You Won
No Star Obtained"
you still won though! the star is just a little bonus and it'll write a different message that will say
"You Won
And You Even Got Yourself A Star!"
as a reminder that you did very very well. it is possible to get a star and even have 2 lives left. but it's not necessary to win
thank you for your comment though ^^
