This one is very decent submission. Definitely a good reuse of an old genre of game -- kinda gave me nostalgia. In general I had fun with this game.

My biggest critic is perhaps the artstyle inconsistency. Next time try to keep the artstyle of your game consistent; you seem to be working on a team, and I think you should make sure everyone is on the same page as to what artstyle everyone is aiming for.

Lastly, I would like to request you to fill the submission questionnaire more... properly. In particular, for "How does your game fit the Magical Girl Genre?" you just answered "It's about magical girls". The purpose of this questionnaire is to quickly weed out games that definitely do not fit the jam, and I swear if I did not know you, and I saw the answer of the questionnaire were just like this, I would get a little bit suspicious. This is just to make my job easier but next time please at least say sth like "Dani is a girl given magical power" or something along that line.

The question wasn't very clear to me. It seemed pretty straightforward to me that the game is about magical girls, so that's how it fits the genre. 

I would have better understood the question if it was worded "What makes your magical girls a magical girl?". It is my fault for not understanding but I think this could help in future jams. Thanks for playing the game by the way!

I will consider your feedback.

It is of course straightforward, and simply by looking and playing a little it is very obvious that the game fits the Magical Girl genre.

But well... before playing the game one of the first things I see, to determine whether the game fits the jam or not, is the answer to the questionnaire. What I wanted to say was simply how the answer doesn't actually answer the question, and only repeats it. I think the description of the question when you first answered it does describe that Magical Girl is defined as "Girls Using Magical Power"; probably I should elaborate next time that you should answer based on that definition but well...

Let's see to illustrate what I mean... Suppose I ask you "How is cat a mammal?", the expected answer is something along the line of "Cats feed their young with milk", but your answer is like "Cat is obviously a mammal". Yeah to make my job of removing games that are put in bad faith easier please actually answer the question next time. 

In any case, thank you for participating! I hope you had fun.
