The way the story is told here is quite interesting, there's just enough to be intriguing while still remaining vague. A lot of the more purely technical points have already been brought up by other people,  but I did find that were was a bit of a lack of instruction. What exactly the flashing box around the character meant was never obvious to me.
Tutorials are hard to fit in with jam constraints, but even just having some instructions on the itch page or as a .txt file along with the game goes a long way.

Other than that, it was a solid experience, great job!

Interesting! Very visually pleasing.

I found I was able to kill the monsters from quite a distance. Like, I'd stand there clicking and they'd just 'take it' and die without even attempting to kill me. 

Also the story snippets are just enough to spark some curiosity.

I liked the plot and I feel that the game play could be improved. For example, the sprite of the player and the hitbox seems to be the same object and I think it could be great if they where separeted things. When you change direcctions it feels like the sprite is fliped by the x axis and teleports. BUT as TaiPrev said, I had the same problem with many of my games and I learned how to avoid those things, I hope to see you in the next jam! (or in the discord channel) :D

Very aesthetically pleasing and with very nice artistic assets! However, I couldn't get past the third monster, be it for lack of blocking, knowing how much health I had left or other management things.

Attacking feels a bit delayed and sometimes there are attacks that happen with no apparent reason (though I suspect that the inputs are stored and used after the animation stops playing), which makes it feel a bit awkward. Also, another little thing, not having the monsters make sounds but the main character doing so feels a bit jarring.

However, don't be discouraged! I point these things out so that you can focus on polishing and getting this into a better state! Good job!

Very nice aesthetic! Combat system feels a bit bulky, but im sure you can improve it. Good job!
