great job, really well done. But what were the characters on the right side for?

Glad you enjoyed our game!
The characters (and the rooms) on the right are there for few reasons: to show [1] which level you are currently on, [2] how far you are to the end of the game, [3] how far you are to boss room(s), [4] how many lives you have left (by showing how close is the cop (we do have hearts ui for clearer information on this)).
We wanted to have a visual and narrative way to show these information, instead of just a progress bar or anything equivalent, to get that immersion into the fantasy!<3
