I really love this, the music and theme fit so well. It felt like a fully realized game and I loved it!

The secret theme...
P.S It's only a coincidence that my game is the secret theme. I only realized it on the last day of the jam.

I knew I was in for something when I saw "inspired by Madoka and Bloodborne", and boy was I right.
Though a bit rough (that's a given for a jam), the gameplay is quite smooth and I had no trouble doing what I was aiming for at any moment. Every move of the magical girl is satisfying to use
Also I find the game very pretty overall with a nice aesthetic, and I love the enemy design
I understand you plan to push this project further? So good luck with that ^^

Magica-nimals VS CoronavirusThat was very, very well done. The gameplay is really solid, the art looks good, and the music fits well. I think in this case the whole really is more than the sum of its parts; everything works together really well.
I found it really difficult the first time around, but the second time I had less trouble. I think it helped that I was using a controller, and wasn't dealing with the performance issues (I turned effects off). Still, I wish there were more save points.
I thought the boss was too easy at first, and then it changed up its attacks which threw me off balance. I was still able to beat it on the first try, though.
I also wasn't able to execute some of the attacks. I'm not sure if this was a bug or if I was just doing it wrong. I was able to do fine with the ones I could pull off, though.
I'm not familiar with Madoka Magica or Bloodborne so I'll take your word for it.

Shattered - Why Not MeAbsolutely love the art. Very nice animation. Totally has the Madoka vibe I hope I would see at least once among the jam entries XD
I hope I'm not the only one that finds the difficulty to be extremely brutal tho :O

One Girl Army - PrologueLots of fun! This is the type of game I would sink a lot of time into. I love the accordion and string combo in the music. It sounds like real instruments which makes me happy, of course. There is no mistaking the vibe. I had only one issue where I got stuck in the ceiling for a little bit, oops! Other than that, pretty smooth sailing and good challenge level.
Cool entry!! I think it was already mentioned and confirmed in the comments, but I see the Madoka connection. It's very successful in that regard! Definitely invokes the feeling of a witch's labyrinth. The art is really solid and interesting. If only it was a little longer. Hope to see more from you, whether it's a continuation or something new!
I'm really liking the game at the moment, but my computer's kind of a potato, and it's tanking the game. Can you offer an option where I can turn off the game's background effects, maybe?

Orange CupWhich secret theme? It's already revealed so it's okay to mention it in the open; or if you for some reasons still feel like hiding it, you can just mention the number (1-13)
