That was a lot of fun: simple, fast and effective gameplay. I really appreciated the Loki and Hel mechanics throwing in an extra curveball to the gameplay. Very replayable and cool.

This was much more fun than I expected it to be from the description.  The periodic switching of gameplay was delightfully frustrating.

Game works find from the itch.io page and it's excellent! The controls respond perfectly. Normally messing with the controls would annoy me but it this case it doesn't. Slightly reminiscent of the fighting games in Undertale; actually I think I prefer this. 

You could build on it with extra enemy gods doing different things and more variety of monsters. I wasn't sure if Loki/Hel timed out or I got rid of them somehow. Maybe make that clearer.

Would also be good to know visually how many hits an enemy took to kill.

Thanks! I wanted to add more gods/powers and improve the UI to help people understand how each aspect works, but I ran out of time. I'll probably come back to this at some point and expand on everything.

Would not start from the itch.io Windows app. Screen appeared with "Made in Unity" but the load progress bar hangs at about 90%. I will try via direct download later.
