No surprise if this wins this jam. Really well done. The controls with joystick were really snappy, no complaint there. The art and animations are charming and professional looking. I feel like this is a vertical slice of a commercial product, so I hope you continue developing this. My only critique is that the second boss is too spongy for how strong and fast he is.

Thanks a lot! We had a hard time balancing the difficulty because we had so much practice with the game. The 2nd boss is actually something we couldn't quite agree on, since I had an easier time with him, while my partner Frostyburguer found him harder than the last boss. Still, we tried to keep it balanced as much as we could, but with the shield phase it was a bit hard to balance since you could deal a ton of damage there. We really hope we can continue developing this, with more/better bosses, and making the abilities you can exchange more interesting, we kept the abilities rather simple to focus on the rest of the game for the jam. Thank you again, and we're really glad you enjoyed it!
