LOSING

The loose condition in the game is to get both Characters killed. When one of the characters is killed, it will be automatically switched for the other one. The dead character will start recovering HP as usual, but will not be available until it has recovered full life. If by that time the second character is also killed, the player will not have more available characters and it will be GAME OVER.
