Thanks for the feedback! Your advice on switching the win condition is reasonable and noted (except I won't change it for this jam since the game making period is now over 😔).
As for the sword, I would love to have added some cooler mechanics but I had a limited time of 5 days to make all the upgrades 😭Time was TIGHT. If I had the full 2 weeks to work on the game, I would have been able to design some cooler stuff. I'm happy you enjoyed the game though!
