Godot is amazing!
That is perhaps one of the things I'm most pleased about having discovered from this Game Jam. I had heard of the engine in passing before, but never given it a whirl until now, and it's extremely pleasant to work with. Signals in particular stood out to me as an "Oh, that's hecking neat" feature, and the scene system is great too. I'll probably discover more things I like as I tinker with it further!
Thank you for taking the time to play my little project and provide some meaningful feedback about it. It's much appreciated! The fire mages definitely need work. I'm almost amused at this point how much universal frustration they've manage to cause. I wanted them to be a nuisance, but... this was far too much. xD
And yeah, as mentioned in another message, the adherence to the theme turned out to be a problem. I cut away a lot in order to finish, but at definite compromise with the theme.
Oh, and I'm glad you enjoyed my use of the folk-story! The world needs more Baba Yaga, and not just the John Wick kind.
