I loved the art and the sound of water is really soothing. It was really funny beating up the second girl who gives you a card and getting the card before even doing what she wanted. I had to go all the way back just to beat up the first girl.

Beating up those monsters feels good, hahaha!

Wow, I can't believe this game was made in only 72 hours! Everything seems so polished about it, from the gameplay to the art to the music. Everything fit together really nice and enjoyed playing through the entire game!

My only complaint is that the fighting felt a bit simple. I was able to just mash the attack key and win almost every fight. Even though, it felt really good to fight and beat up those stupid monsters.

Card system was a bit interesting but underutilized, I could see it being expanded into much more. Right now it's basically a way to disguise an otherwise linear progression system.

well done!

The art was so good! The gameplay is sometimes a little frustrating, but it's a nice work for 72 hours :)

Nice entry! Art is great and there is some cool visual effect. I just had a problem at some point because I killed the last monster in an area but the fire wall didn't disapear :/ Appart from that, good job ;)

Really lovely art and water effects! The only problem I had with the game was some of the pacing towards the end. Fighting wave after wave of those dark worms got pretty tedious. It would have been nice if there was a platform section to mix things up!
