Looks like had very similar takes on the theme! We even had thoughts to add endless waves and a crystal to protect in ours too. Very cool to see the path we could've taken!
I loved the art in this game; it was very cute. And having a variety of attacks to choose from was also very nice. I do wish the keys for each ability were shown in-game as well as in the directions because I kept forgetting which was the explosion attack and which was the spin attack. Players (i.e. me) are forgetful and won't remember any but most basic of controls after they navigate away from the directions haha.
Also, you made the music for this during the jam too?! That's awesome! I had just assumed it was pre-made or borrowed from somewhere else until I read some of the other comments and checked the "Did your team create the vast majority of the music" answer. It was just that good. Great submission, esp. for your first jam! Congratulations!
