Really good game, especially for a game jam !
You're part of my video of the Ludum Dare 43 ;)

Enjoy !
Merci beaucoup ! Je suis heureux que vous l'ayez apprécié !
Really awesome and clever stuff here! I haven't seen any other downgrade mechanics like this in recent memory and I love the idea! You keep getting weaker as the game gets harder. Not only that, but the game is gorgeous too. The style looks painted and I don't often see detail like that in a jam title. While I don't think it has a ton of replay value, I still had a blast with it! Great work!
Thanks so much for making the video and I'm glad you enjoyed it! Totally agreed about the art -- it was done by Peet Cooper who is a beast with the (digital) paintbrush.
