Even though the companion setup is simple, I haven't seen a similar setup in the jam yet (I have rated 26 games as of writing this) Felt like the companion was inspired by AC games even though slightly different use cases haha. I almost only wanted to use my companion to kill the enemies but found that they are slightly tiny bit 'faster' than me so i can't outrun them and hit them with my companion LOL
Congratulations on the submission!
