Thanks for your comment! I designed the game to be a bit challenging, being quite short. It requires perseverance, and learning to progress gradually... until the end. I hope it will make you want to play again. Hang in there! p(＃^▽ﾟ）q (and thanks for France! hihi)
Yes, it's a deliberate choice, in homage to many, many old games. I'd like to keep the game as I imagined it... but I understand that not everyone will appreciate this choice... ヾ(_ _*) On the other hand, the better you get at the game, the longer the game sessions become, and the menu times are also nice, hihi!
