Thank you for the comments, this was my first game jam, with these criticisms I will improve next time, unfortunately I didn't calculate the time correctly and I couldn't finish it, but I'm still happy

The bosses have really cool patterns but it feels almost impossible to get hits in with any of the weapons. The melee weapons have almost no range and the projectile weapons are very difficult to control, but none of the bosses feel designed for that level of close-close-range combat.

Unfortunately I could not get a single hit in on any of the bosses and ranged weapons seams broken. The boss designs looks cool though. Sound or music would be nice. The exchange element for me feels more like a forced chose. Your not exchanging your current weapon, you are picking between 2 weapons because yours broke/lost.

I thought the art style was great, particularly in the cutscenes. That said, I found the controls (especially attacking) to be confusing and difficult to use. The absence of sound was also an immediate downside. Overall though, I still enjoyed it. Mainly because of the art, which I really did quite like. I found it nostalgic for some reason, though I can't place what it reminds me of.

The visuals are awesome, and it looks like the story and mechanics in the game have a ton of potential! Unfortunately it did seem quite difficult to beat bosses given the timing on attacking seemed a little awkward.

Interesting pixel art shader, but the gameplay is very strange, the boss is difficult to hit and easy to take a lot of damage, and the health is very low.

The visuals look great, I love the MS-paint art style. The concept is cool and some of the bosses look awesome. Unfortunately, it's really hard to avoid getting hit. It seems like the hitboxes are somewhat inaccurate and the very slow movement speed makes it hard to evade. I would suggest increasing the speed, adding some more range to the weapons and making it quicker to rematch bosses. 

There's a lot of potential, I think this game would be really cool with a few tweaks!
