Zelda atmosphere meets Noita mindset!
This is a game that allows you to combine elements with other elements & modifiers for emergent mechanics. The presentation is quite good and I'm impressed by the variety of sprite assets created (by one person) in such a short amount of time.
The ghost enemies are cute, but also quite dumb and do not seem to find pathing around doorways or themselves. If you kite them they will quickly stack up along the walls in the next area you're about to go into and you can pick them off like farm animals walking into the slaughter... Sorry ghosts!
Overall this is still a fairly competent game for the 2 week time allotment that this game jam had.
Good job!
(Also, do try to avoid the truly game-breaking combination below. It froze my game immediately because it was just too strong!!)
[Editing this post because I'm not sure my image is appearing. The combination I put in was as follows:
tri-shot, center, double-shot, spread-shot, ice above & fire below]

Thank you very much for the kind words and for playing. The AI was designed for more open spaces, enemy design overall is a weak point I guess.
So did the combination you found have stability issues, i.e. did you get frame drops or did it just feel unbalanced? I tested many similar combinations and they worked fine for me. I should probably test on weaker hardware as well.
