Wow, lovely visuals and beautiful story - I wasn’t expecting to have all these feels while playing jam games!! The controls felt pretty good, and the game had a handful of challenges leading up to the final battle. Once I got the hang of it, the first half of the boss fight was not too bad but I struggled before eventually beating the second half!
Would have loved some retro sound effects/music to go with this game, but honestly that was one of the only things that I felt was missing. I like that you even included a little self-reference to the short length of the game - with a bit longer levels I think this would make a great full-fledged arcade game in its own right.
Congratulations on the great entry!
