Whoa thanks a bunch for playing and for all of the kind words! I'm really happy people are digging the action battle mechanic; games like Eternal Senia and some action titles Beregon made showed me some of the on-map action battle potential RPG Maker has and inspired me to try it out, and it seemed a good fit for a survival title.
It was a ton of fun customizing the Violet sprite, I never imagined I'd be pixel arting a diaper and sword attacks onto a baby sprite for a game hah! :) The kewl brain alien sprites are thanks to hiddenone, I just customized them a little for the downed pose. Really glad you enjoyed the arts too, just like the sprites I never imagined drawing a sword-wielding baby, great the Driftwood made 'babies' a theme.
Thanks so much for taking the time to play through, good luck in the Jam!
