Good Game!
I like the effort to make a character by character based dialogue system. It’s a nice way to present your story! Although I must say, the UI could use a bit of work: custom pixelated font, and custom button drawings / background to the UI. I do really appreciate the fact that you did you own music for the boss battle! The goal of a jam is to learn tools to make game. I must however adress the number of bugs present in you game: from the resolution (and to be fair I still have a lot of troubles making my game work with any resolution) to the reset once you died that somtimes keep the powerup. The AI dynamic is actually not bad (I like the idea of raising it’s intelligence), although it would work so much better if I had any idea of what I was controlling exacly, so I can adjust my strategy during the game.
GG!
