There is a lot to like about this game - the beautiful art, the witty writing, the unique tunes. The only downside is one that has been pretty universally harped on: the core combat mechanic. I honestly tried to play the way it was intended by holding down the arrows in the intended rhythm, but found it too hard to grok, so I just cheesed my way to victory.
Combat woes aside, the game is a delightful bite-sized romp, an exemplary scope for a jam game. Nice job!
