A few of the fights took me a couple of tries, but once I figured out that I could use Starpower to heal myself outside of battles and that I could built up my TP by guarding and using Life Ender to drain a ton of health, I was able to win some of the fights pretty easily, especially the boss fight at the end of the game. The highlight of the game was the story, which was not only emotional but well-written.
Amazing jam entry.
