Some random thoughts:

- I think the UI elements, such as the action bar and the target indicators, could benefit from being a bit larger.
- I especially liked the story blurbs that appear upon receiving each ability - it helped with the tone a lot.
- I'm impressed at how many abilities you managed to fit in!

Overall, good looking game with some interesting combat choices.

Nice! I skipped through the text so I wont rate on Theme, Overall, Humor and Mood.
- Graphics, Sounds and Features work nicely together.
- You made a very good use of the mouse as input.
- The goal is clear, first attempt is functional.
- If you die, the next attempt is bugged(atleast was for me).

Pretty good game! I liked the graphics a lot. I sucked at the game, but it was still fun to play. If you could try out my game then that would be cool.

Nice game. But where is sacrifice?

Found bug. When you finish the game, if you start over, you will see map from finished game.

Not sure if it's intentional, but after I died I kept all my abilities on the next run through - which actually kind of worked well as a checkpoint system, but it feels like it's probably a bug.

There's an impressive range of abilities here. Gameplay is pretty basic, but the fundamentals are good and it's a solid take on the genre.

It was a really fun game but when I near the end all of the attacks got turned off and I couldn't do anything. I loved the graphics and the audio! It was a really fun game! Well done!

Fun game with lots of great art. I had a good time working through it and discovering the different items, although it was a little frustrating not knowing what they did or when to use them. I like the mix of game and narration, and I am impressed you got this done in such a short time.

Very cool! The art was great and I loved the different attacks and items that you got. Maybe is was just RNG with my run but I felt like it was really well balanced which is impressive considering the time you get for an LD Jam.

I really enjoy gaining new items through the battle! Wish there are more types of monsters. But overall is really fun, good job!

That was pretty cool! Buggy, but cool. I lost the ticking timepiece immediately after I got it because I couldn't do anything except use it as a weapon, some kind of amulet? Once it was used up from I guess dying (which wouldn't be a problem if I'd been able to attack normally tbqh) I was able to attack normally again, but w/e. The towns were kinda buggy too - taking the middle path, I couldn't go to the top row when I got to the middle village that's connected to all three rows, but I was able to take the bottom path, so I did. A few typos in narration and could use some "you beat the demon lord!" music, but the music and art was super good! I'd love to see this as a full game with animations! I also really appreciate the options menu being available in-combat, as well.

Neat game, wish the theme was a bit more directly tied to the mechanics. Looked and sounded good and played well though.
