So I've given it a second go, and all I can say is its too complex for a jam game.

I won't say being complex is bad, only in this case it feels like I'm going against what's meant to be end game level bosses as a level 1 player. And I'm not talking stats. Ok yes, first time I played I didn't even know I was meant to use the stat stones and would constantly die in 1-2 hits. 

But even with better stats I don't 'understand' when or how to use my skills and my fingers are simply fumbling to hit the right keys at the right time. Its a simply a skill issue, or lack of skill to be more precise.

I won't say its a bad game now that I have a better understanding of what you were going for; but I will say it has a very steep learning curve that would better suit a longer more narrative driven game that gradually eases you in, slowly introducing new skills and mechanics as the game goes.

That's fine, this is my first jam, I never joined one before because most of them only last like 3~7 days which is impossible for me to compile the running prototype.

With zero experience obviously I don't even know what I'm doing and give it a go when I saw this jam last for month.

Anyway thanks for the feedback, I'll use it for the future reference.

For your first jam it is a good attempt and I can tell you put a lot of effort into it. Everything is a learning experience and we learn best from our mistakes.

This is my 10th or so jam and I'm still learning things from mistakes and oversights of my own.

You've got to start somewhere.
