Hello! I love how this game takes the classic sliding minigame, and turns it into a full game! The story start without a lot of premises and goes straight to the point (I liked it, even if the tutorial felt a little long - maybe stuff could've been explained during the story).
And the artstyle overall looks very good and super coherent, especially the portraits!
At the start I wasn't convinced by the enemies bouncing you back, but at some points it was used as a puzzle mechanic. But I still find a little slow waiting to bounce back and then repeat the movement for each enemy. Also I feel that having to hold the interaction button while hitting them is very unnecessary for how it's programmed right now, since I simply held the button down for the entire time.
Also, I personally don't mind that the game took more of a monster-based direction instead of a pure puzzle one - it makes a lot of sense in the game jam, since it makes the game more casual. But I personally would've loved having a focus on the puzzle, since for what I played, there were not a lot of thinking required to beat each level - just some bouncing back and forth between enemies.
(As an extra note, there's no reason to buy anything other than the raspberry, since the price is just 20 x hp restored)
A pretty solid game, congratulations!
