Fun game and fun concept! I really liked the music and it was fun to have to manage your abilities. I would suggest adding some more powerful enemies with different playstyles, like archers that shoot at the crystal from afar and try to avoid you. Having a vampire survivors like level up and upgrade system could also do a lot to spice up gameplay, as it would allow you to make the game more difficult and make the player more powerful as the game progresses. Great job overall!

ohhh the color scheme was soo good and the dragon was adorable . i liked the knights too but since they're not really on my side i'm a bit more hesitant to compliment them haha . overall a super cute and awesome take on the theme !!!! :]

I like the hand drawn art. The strategy of protecting yourself and the gem adds some nice strategy to the game and the abilities are all satisfying and fun to use. Really cool to see another (I think) first time jam submitter as well! I think this is using Godot which is a plus in my book! :P I did notice some smearing when quickly switching left and right on the main character, I think that can be solved by using flip h on the sprite instead of negative scaling it but maybe its an intended effect.

Music was nice and the melee attack felt good. I felt the other attacks weren't strong enough for the length of their cooldowns and the number of enemies spawning. I lost pretty quickly haha.

Very cute artwork and nice music! But it is very easy to start feeling overwhelmed with no time to cool off.

i like the hopeless, overwhelming feel of this game! and i also really like the art style--gives the game a hand-crafted feeling :) i'll have to come back to this one with an actual mouse--trackpad is not the way to go here, haha. i could see this being fun with a twin-stick kind of control system too, if you keep working on it post jam!

i also would have loved a fullscreen option on this one. i have to f11 my browser to see the full screen, but it's just by a few pixels vertically so nothing *too* bad. i did have an issue my first play where i was trying to attack a knight in the top right part of the screen, but i ended up clicking on the gmtk game jam badge that was overlapping the screen! it was pretty funny, but it did take me out of the page and i had to reload.

I love the art style here - not gonna lie, I immediately felt the need to stand up for this dragon, it's adorable. Loved the music too, carried the mix of majesty and desperation. Fantastic stuff!

The balancing on the basic melee felt good; short reach, but easy to use and effective - I like that it makes you put yourself close to danger.

I'd like to see the special moves toned up in power, with a longer cooldown to balance it out. Make them satisfying to use! Specifically, the fireball felt like it could be buffed up a fair bit, as it couldn't take out the weakest enemies.

Fun, really liked the music, didn't feel like it got old too quickly. Also appreciated the animation for turning around, felt better than just instantly swapping the model around. The 'try again' button doesn't seem to work though and I think hitboxes needed to be a little bigger (particularly on the spin attack) overall a great first submission though, good job!
