Pretty cool game, i just wish i didn't got stuck in the first level after jumping  on some platformer, but i like the simplicity of the game and it can surely turns out to something better. Good job with this!

The boss stops attacking after two attacks and that makes the boss fight less exciting. Other than that it's a really good game.

Developer

Its a known bug, i think its one of the 4 attacks that screws to end somehow. Im still not sure yet.
In editor i never had this bug :d should have tested more build plays. there are some bugs in build.

Nice game, controls are a little bit clunky imo but otherwise it is cool, one of the only games that has a bossfight! Good job^^

Decent game. Rather nice for testing speed runs. Very clunky though

I thought the intro sequence was really cute and was nice to see especially with all the art you drew for it. The tutorial was nice and simple quick to the point. There was a lot of mechanics which was nice to use and explore. There are multiple different weapons and they have various stamina requirements and different attack speeds and ranges which was nice. You could also go back and swap back to the other weapon if you didn't like the new one. The deco around the weapons was nice when you were exploring because it would catch your eye. The beginning of the boss music is straight fire. 
I didn't like that when you got hit there was no clear feedback as for me getting damaged, I would be like oh, when did I get damaged?  The thorns the flowers shoot out are really small and hard to see. I don't know if something broke with the boss but I restarted my game twice to fight him and beat him and there was no end scene? Also when fighting him he only attacked once both times and then stopped attacking and nothing would happen. 

The game is really cute and I enjoyed playing it, thank you for entering the game jam and letting me play your game.

Ok thats weird, yesterday the boss also broke for me one time, but then it stopped so i thought it was okay.
Im gonna look into that problem - because the boss is maybe the only thing that will stay the same if i update the game. (but more balanced and maybe 1-3 new attacks or something)
- noted the damage feedback
- noted to make the projectiles more visible
Thanks for the long feedback :D

Would have loved if I re spawned at the boss battle... overall a nice game :)

Yes the boss is a bit hard, and getting there again is a annyoing.
