The game was pretty good, especially as it was made for a 3 days long jam! The gameplay is fun and I likje how the health bar is connected to the attacks, making the player think about ressource usage. I don't know if it's normal but the dash seems to have no attack with it (it deals no damage).

Thanks for playing, glad you enjoyed the game. Sorry for making it so difficult; I didn't have enough time to balance the game.

Thank you for the feedback. The boss health should've been set lower. I tried to put it at a level that I found challenging but since I've been play testing the game all weekend probably isn't the best way to do it. I didn't realise the mana bar was a problem. It definitely needs improvement. Thanks for pointing it out.
