Ranked from 6 ratings. Score is adjusted from raw score by the median number of ratings per game in the jam.

How does your game fit the Magical Girl Genre?
Minzu is a ghost, so she can phase through walls, and fly and float around. I can't show the flying or floating because I don't know how to, but it's described in the text.

Which theme(s) do you pick?
Dragon's Field

How does your game fit those theme(s)?
I interpreted Dragon's Field as the ruins of a volcanic eruption: both are fiery, dangerous, destructive phenomena which tend to burn everything in its path, be it the dragon's breath or the lava; even the sheer physical force, like the dragon's stomp or the ashes and rocks of volcanoes can cause immense damage, like what happened to this ghost town.,

If you follow any of the optional challenges, elaborate as you like.
I didnt
