Mice pose no threat in Lolife but are worth chasing down if you need to heal. Be quick as they will flee from any perceived danger! #playdate #indiegame

While a few items in Lolife are lying around others are earned through some classic questing. If violence isn't working out there's often also a peaceful resolution to be found #playdate #indiegame

You'll want a lantern to light your way if you're going to explore any of the underground caves in Lolife. Stumble around in the dark at your own risk... #playdate #indiegame

Of all your belongings in Lolife your sword is the most useful. You'll need it to defend yourself from wild animals, fight the castle soldiers, break down weak walls and uncover hidden pathways. Completing your quest without a sword would be quite the challenge! #playdate #indiegame
