This is really polished for a game jam game! I wasn't at all expecting voice acting when I went into this. It's not the most amazing VA work I've heard, but it's still very impressive given the time constraints. The artwork is fantastic, and the music really adds to the fantasy feel that this game has. The abilities are neat, though I had to guess which ones worked on which enemies. The controls for them are also rather clunky, and the amount of time it takes to do them is kinda slow. There were so many times when I was getting the crap beaten out of me by an enemy while trying to do one of the abilities. Using W for jumping was also a bit awkward, but it's not the worst. The story I think is pretty neat, and I think I was able to follow along with it just fine. The ending was a bit anticlimactic, though. I don't know if this was intentional, but she just sorta disappears out of thin air, and then the game freezes. I understand if there wasn't time for a super elaborate ending due to the aforementioned time constraints, though, haha. Overall, I think it's pretty good. 8/10. :>

Thanks for the detailed feedback and for playing the game I appreciated it! I wanted to tell a story in this jam so visuals and audio was something I wanted to focus heavily for this jam. For the attacks I can definitely rework some things as I didn't had time to fully playtest them in this jam. Is W not how most platformers use for jumping? If you using arrow keys its also the Up arrow. The boss fight I didn't have to finish sadly as I had awesome idea for her and even had the animations ready, but didn't have enough time to code her and playtest the bugs. I am looking to finish her encounter after the jam however! Thanks for the review and playing!
