Very cute.

The game is very intuitive and fun. At the moment it's a bit short but of course it's for a jam. The speed is a bit slow and I don't know if the first puzzle you encounter is solvable but it's a great start.

A very charming experience! The aesthetics are really nice all around. I like the low rez pixel art, and the audio experience compliments it nicely. The overall game concept worked well and was fun.

I think others have mentioned it, but the walk speed feels slow. I could see the walk being the current run, and the run being even faster.

I guess my only other complaint would be that it didn't feel very magical-girl. Maybe a little extra story could make that aspect a little more prominent? But otherwise, this a very good entry to the jam. Great work!

Simple but fun little game! Just about short enough for a jam game, and the art is really moody and cohesive. I like the sound design of the boimins, the random pitches makes them harmonize sometimes. Walking speed felt a little slow though, while the throwing mechanic felt too fast. In a future update maybe you can tweak those more. Finally, "Magical Girl Concept" didn't feel that strong as we don't get to know much about Amanita's character besides she throw good.

I really liked this one, maybe even more than I thought I would.

I'm not generally a fan of this visual style, but it grew on me. There were a few minor flaws like a particle effect that broke the picture-perfect illusion, and the rock that's way bigger than the hole in the ground, but overall it's very visually consistent. The combination of sound effects and visuals was very cute and charming.

I think the gameplay concept is based on Pikmin, but I've never played Pikmin, so it feels fresh to me. Maybe a bit of Lemmings influence (IIRC Lemmings influenced Pikmin so that's not surprising). I found the balance puzzle a bit frustrating but I really liked the gameplay overall.

The biggest issue is that for me is that this game, even in demo form, is too long to complete in one session, and gave me that typical game jam "you can't save and you don't know if this game is stable" anxiety. If this is expanded to a full game it'll really need some kind of save mechanic. I got just past the movable stone, into the eastern-western forest, and then ran out of time.

I'm not sure how "magical girl" this really is, but considering how charming it is I'm inclined to let that slide.

This was great !  I had a little army of 51 ready for war ... damn vines got in the way =] 

Only game play issue I had was right click on web player sometimes pops out a system dialog ... not sure if something can be done about that ?

Looking forward to more !  

Story wise the little there, was good, but not sure if there was any magical girl stuff in there?

The gameplay is indeed 2D Pikmin, the execution is good though. The control is easy to pick up. Both the visual and audio is cute and lovely. I like the sfx of speech and the first boimin. Kinda sad that it's just a small demo. Overall i think this game is good and i look forward the full version

Additionally, i would suggest setting the character run by default
