HP

Health Points (or HP for short) determines the health of the Characters (or Enemies) in Skitchy swap. It is represented in the form X/Y, with X being the current HP and Y being the maximum HP of the character.

When a character has 0 HP left, the character will die. If the characters are reduced to 0 HP, the game is over, unless the Character has an extra life. When that happens, the game will return to the main screen with some penalties – The characters with 1 HP.

Enemy HP can be viewed by buying the Book for a specific stage.
