Yeah, you're totally right! A (countdown) gamejam game that ran out of time! Doh!
I had planned NPCs that could be pounced-on for health but would make levels trickier (silver weapons they attack with when they see you in-front of them, crosses you can't approach from front, garlic you can't approach from any direction) but a weird Godot UID duplication bug lost me several hours so I had to cut the whole thing. Fixed it the next day.
Worth getting that in for people to try? Whaddya think? (I'm never sure whether anyone plays jam games after jam wraps, y'know!)
Afterwards, I also thought I could reduce the health so death on a single sunlight hit! But my son chose the healthbar UI and I didn't want to remove his contribution!
Anyway, thanks so much for playing and the feedback!
