❤ Leveling Through Food

Players level up by eating food items that drop from monsters, rather than gaining experience from defeating enemies. This creates an interesting risk-reward dynamic. Players can consume the food immediately for healing, or hold onto it to trade in sets of 10 of the same type for more powerful, experience-granting items at the inn. This food-based progression system encourages strategic inventory management, as players must carefully balance their short-term healing needs with long-term leveling goals.

❤ Complementary Character Abilities

The game features two playable protagonists - Pokkle and Pipiro - that players can seamlessly swap between. Pokkle excels at close-range melee combat and can even block magical attacks under certain conditions. Pipiro, on the other hand, gains access to a wide variety of ranged magical spells as the game progresses. Adapting one's playstyle to the strengths and weaknesses of each character is crucial for overcoming the game's more challenging encounters.

❤ Charged Special Attacks

In addition to basic attacks, both Pokkle and Pipiro can charge up powerful special moves indicated by on-screen smiley faces. Timing the execution of these devastating charged attacks is key to efficiently clearing groups of enemies or overcoming tough boss fights.

❤ Dungeon Exploration and Puzzles

Navigating the game's hand-crafted, non-randomly generated dungeons is a core part of the experience. These environments feature environmental puzzles, such as block pushing and switch-based mechanics, that players must solve to progress. The layouts, while potentially repetitive at times, are filled with secrets and hidden paths that encourage thorough exploration.

❤ Pet Companion System

Players can choose to bring a cat or dog companion into dungeons, where the pet will assist in collecting items and healing the party. Alternatively, the pet can be sent on its own adventures, with players directing its actions at key decision points. This pet management mechanic provides an engaging side activity that complements the main dungeon crawling.
