Hey!

In my opinion, the biggest problem you have is the scale of the arenas. I like the idea of exploring a map to find the boss, but for a boss rush, I think it's best to get to it faster. A few ways to solve this would be to make the arena smaller/make the boss bigger/have an indicator pointing towards the boss. I think avoiding hazards and platforming could work really well if they were happening while fighting the boss.

I like the worldbuilding; the banter before missions and dancing are a good touch as well, it added character to the protagonist. The rumours being both a clue and part of the story was also cool. You did a good job with the icons, and the assets you've chosen work well together, and look like they belong to the same world.

Since there are only a few days left, I am rating and giving feedback to games with few ratings. I would appreciate it if you rated my game too. No need to leave a comment, unless you feel like it.

Thanks for the experience =]

Freaky design, made me startled, I wasn't expecting the game to be so cool, and the assets are very creative, I'm sad that there isn't much sound in the game, feels a bit lifeless, but from what I played, this was a cool idea that I would love to see become a bigger project down the line. Well done!

Thank you for playing my game. Yes, I realised just before the game jam ended that  my audio was lacking, over my earphones it sounded so loud I decreased the volume in the game and not my laptop and forgot about it. Before I could upload the corrected version, the game jam closed and I couldn't upload. Will have to wait for when the game jam finished. :(

Really impressive assets considering 1 month. Would love to have seen more content, found the first planet pretty easy to finish. Nice work!

Thank you for playing my game. I had more natural disasters like falling rocks and carnivorous alien plants planned for the game, but time ran out.
