Hello! Thank you for putting together a lengthy, emotionally enthusiastic comment! Yes, a killing game with so few contestants is a novel concept, and a challenge that I feel was well-attempted by a big fan of this genre! Your theory about it ending in 5 minutes is an interesting one, so I recommend you check out the free demo to see if it plays out exactly like that 😄
Also you're correct, I do not possess the skills needed to make high quality sprites, which is why I am truly grateful to have my character artist on this project. Please check out his link in the bottom section of the page!
