This was great! The game started up and I thought, OK, pretty simple art and animation. Nice, but nothing crazy ... then that sound kicked in! This game has some of the best sound design of all the jam games I've played. Really well done implementing that.
I was having fun just dodging the attacks, but when the shadow character dropped in and I realized what his pattern was, I was having a blast setting him up to be the punching bag in my place.
Great entry! Perfect jam length. Good work.
