Very fun work! Love the art, animations, and the level of polish in general. I did find a bug where tapping X and then tapping X a second time instead of any directional keys cancels the magic stance but stops me from moving afterwards. Thankfully, casting any magic allows me to move again. The boss at the end was confusing at first, but I managed to figure out the solution to use the guard eventually. Armchair gamedev time follows:

The issue is that since you can chain stun every enemy to death, it is never strictly necessary to use the guard (or the blink move for that matter). Perhaps the melee enemies could hyper-armor through the player's attacks, but guarding their attack stunned them. Something to that effect could teach the player an application of their guard that they can use during the boss. 

While I'm here wishing for things you could do to expand on this framework: I really found myself wishing there were ways to cancel your attack recoveries into the magic stance. I think you could design a really really fun combat system around doing that.

Anyways, what you've made here is already really awesome! By the end of my time playing, I was really getting into throwing Sherry Bombs to soften up groups of enemies to take down in melee. It was super satisfying! I think what you've built here is very ripe for expansion into something else. I am excited to see what you do in the future!

Wow. This one is impressive. And all the audio and music are also made during the jam period too? I swear for a sec I thought from the quality of the music this couldn't have been made during the jam period...

Very, very polished. I simply love the graphic and the music. Very high quality game here. The difficulty got out of hand very quickly, and I don't think I can beat the boss, but this is very great.

My only complain is the movement speed....... (^.^;

This was a fun experience at first. I like that the controls were presented right away and are mostly intuitive. The magic system takes a little getting used to, though. I was also thrown off at first that you fight in one location instead of moving from left to right. Once I got that, it was a little too easy at first, but then got really hard as the number of enemies increased to the point of being overwhelming. The thing that I really didn't like was the boss: it's not clear how you're supposed to hit it. I never completed the first level because I couldn't figure it out.

It's a great start overall. I would have liked a small announcement at the start of the stage that let me know what I was supposed to do and what to expect, maybe a quick tutorial on how to use the magic items. It might also be helpful to tell the player how to damage the boss or make it easier to just spam attack to hit it. Otherwise, I like it.

Really love the art and animation on this one! The music was good, and the SFX work. I'm not a huge beat-em-up player, but I did enjoy the Scott Pilgrim game. This one gives me some of those vibes! I did however find the boss frustrating... the basic enemies are easy, but then the boss shows up and wrecks me in no time flat. I couldn't figure out how to hit it, and gave up after a few playthroughs.

Still, even if I couldn't beat it, I do think this is a good game! It'd be cool if you made this a longer, more complete game! Nice work! :)

I don't have much to say other than this game is fun and I LOVE this kind of gameplay!
