Clever idea and just the right length.

The artwork is great and atmospheric, I really admire the implementation of the theme, there's almost a sadness to the loop in the story, the combat system felt nice, more or less a barebones fighting game, I can easily see this being fantastic with more variations on both the heroes and beast

Love that the "enemy" isn't readily apparent. A good "oh woah" moment.

Cool idea. I really like the art. The battle was very simple but this is a jam so that is understandable. Having the controls on the screen is a really good idea. I like the interpretation of the theme and it works. Nice work!

The concept is really cool! I especially like the art design of the beast.

Wow! A solid entry. Perfectly executes the theme and looks good doing it. The controls felt a bit janky, but figuring out and executing what I needed to close the loop was fun!

Well done!

Nice. I legit enjoyed this. Had a little 'oooh' moment when I realized that you need to break the columns. The way you made 1 boss fight into a game makes me think about the scope of Ludum Dare games. Congrats!

Really cool take on the theme! And I loved the intro and gameplay music

This is a really intriguing game. I found actual gameplay quite minimal, but the surrounding mechanics were really interesting. Almost more of an art piece than a game. The visual style and music were excellent. It's obviously quite small at the moment and I can't imagine how it might be expanded, but I'd be very interested to find out.
