- I liked the music, menus, a bunch of the art. The overworld was a bit simplistic compared to the rest of the art. That is to say, it almost clashed as a result. I would recommend moving the art direction in one way or the other. I liked that you're able to do auto-combat (because I didn't understand the combat system at the start), but it sent me into an area where I was doing no damage. That was setting the player up for failure. Keep at it. You have some serious talent.
- I found the art and mechanics very nice, and the added in-game teaching is good. The visual style was simple and very pleasing. The background music and sound effects fit the game well. Having the setting to change the volume is a big plus. The theme was implemented with alchemy, but I would have liked an even more active role with shadows other than just trying to stay in them. Awesome job on the game, and I hope to see you at the next Jam!

Extra Notes
I made this game in about 5-6 hours total, so the difficulty might be a bit unbalanced.
I didn't have a lot of time, but I wanted to make a submission and hopefully make something short and sweet that you could enjoy!
Stay awesome and thank you all so much for all the amazing things that you do! :)

So there is a few things to note.
One its not apparent of what to do in the game and should really have some kind of tutorial before the game starts.
Two i don't like being forced into full screen so I would suggest u fix that so u don't and if its a UI issue then fix that in engine so ur UI scales correctly especially in windowed mode.
Three I was in the game for a few seconds and I died from the sun which is too fast for a new player to the game.
