I like this game, it's very reminiscent of Celeste without being an outright copy. I don't like that the sfx for walking are chimes which sometimes clash with the music's tonality, but this is a fairly fluid game although I'm not sure how much it relates to the theme.

Thankyou for your feedback, I'm glad you enjoyed the game. I'll agree with you on the chime's when walking, the intention was to reinforce the magical nature of the character moving through this dream like world but the sound chosen comes out a bit stronger than intended.
As for it being like Celeste, yes, just yes. I actually got the urge to play celeste for a few days halfway through making this game due to how much the game was reminding me of it.
As for the magical girl theming, unfortunately that grew weaker than intended as I started developing. The initial idea was that this was post 'deletion' of the world following the 'world vanquisher' theme. The girl character was meant to be the 'echoed' remains of a once magical girl now trying to restore order, her forgotten animal familiar guiding her spirit to restore the world again.
Overall because of how vague the magical girl concepts became I nearly didn't submit it to this jam, but without the jam's prompts I would never have made the game in the first place and I wanted to honour its origin even if that means a lower rating.
