i really like when a short game has simple mechanics like these, and picking which fights to do gave me a choice in how to engage with them. being able to avoid fights was cool, but it also meant i might not have enough stats to fight the boss at the end, so i made sure to fight as much as i could and which fights i could win. the sound effects were good too lmao. keep developing games, find some good teammates, and keep at it, i'm sure the things you make in the future will be awesome too. :]
