How does your game fit the Magical Girl genre?
Umbra or “Shadowchild” is a girl with the magical ability to generate electricity and sling lightning bolts. She also has the abilities to cast her shadow as illusion magic, (though that doesn’t work on someone as all powerful as her mother) and pull darkness from within people’s hearts into a physical manifestation of that evil and defeat it.

Which theme(s) do you pick?
Grievous Lady

How does your game fit those theme(s)?
Amor In Umbra's story is about Umbra's mother being consumed by grief. The grief stems from her immortality and the trauma of her lover passing away . Her mother mistakes Umbra's independence for abandonment and begins to be consumed by her grief and trauma. We were unable to establish this narrative fully, but we were aiming to explore this relationship.

If you follow any of the optional challenges, elaborate as you like.
Planning (focused more on planning than implementation, resulting in us rushing for the last 24 hours) and being new to Unity -- first time making a game fully.

Were the assets for your game made during the jam? Elaborate as you see fit.
Yes! Cat designed and drew all the magical girl sprites.

Mechanics are functional. Could have potential for expansion.

There's not a lot there currently, but as Sunny mentioned below, getting anything done in one night is very impressive! The outline of the game is all there and functions, so that's a lot that you got done in a short amount of time. I hope you'll keep working on it! If not, MGGJ11 will be here soon enough, hope to see you again!

Considering it's developed overnight, I think it's quite good.
