Oooooh I really like the idea of this, especially. Really good job with the art, and I like the explanation of the game that you gave on the TV at the beginning. Not too long, option to skip, matches with the game's story and vibe. I think there may be some resolution issues, as I noticed some words in the main menu towards the right were cut off for me, and I was able to click some sort of button on the right, but then not return to the normal menu. Aside from that, some nitpicky critiques I might suggest if you were to continue the game are to maybe make it more obvious visually which side of the coin you landed. I think this would benefit the experience a lot since the whole anticipation depends on those moments where it's revealed heads or tails, but instead of seeing heads or tails, it's more like I figure out what I got based on if I get the screen to continue or the screen to pick a vial. Also, maybe having an animation for something happening to the heart when you die could enhance the experience. I understand it's a game jam, so it would probably be hard to have an animation for this version. But if you ever continued, you draw emphasis to the heart both visually in how you set up the scene artwise and also by zooming in each time you flip. That emphasis feels somewhat like it's for nothing becuase when you die, you just end up blinking to black and dying rather than being able to see what happens to your heart. Oh, also, the death screen is very cool too. Overall, this was a really cool game! Good job!

First of I'm so glad you enjoyed and thank you so much for the advice! All that feedback and the bugs are going to be very helpful when we continue it in future! We'll get the resolution issue sorted asap and yes I fully agree with the coin flip part, struggled to get it implemented in time since it was one of the last pieces of art we had finished so yes some definition of the result could be really nice and yep we were going to do a heart bursting kind of animation but didn't have the time so had to go without it, in the full version we definitely will be adding that, definitely feel like there's a buildup to nothing in a way so glad someone else noticed! Also glad you liked the death screen, that was like way too hard to figure out how to add with the scrolling text but once I did I liked the result. Overall thanks for the in depth feedback and glad you enjoyed our game! (Also can I ask what resolution you were playing at, perhaps it's an issue with not enough resolutions added or just not working, thanks!)
