Very atmospheric. Great art. I’m not sure if I understood the combat. I first hit the key once while it was shown. This dealt less damage and gave less healing than the butterfly was dealing to me. So, it was impossible to win a combat. However, I found out that the game allows you to press the single key multiple times, and the combat instantly became very easy. Pressing a-a-a-a s-s-s-s quickly eliminates any butterfly on your way, and it doesn’t even get a chance to react.

I'm very proud of the new techniques I learned while making this game, both in terms of code, art, and game mechanics. It's my first time trying to make original and interesting battle mechanics, and I learned a lot in implementing it into the game. I also wanted to play with a more experimental art style, and forced myself out of my comfort zone when designing the visuals, which I think turned out very nice.
