Congrats for finishing for first jam! I think the idea is pretty good and executed well! If everything was a bit faster, I think this would make for a perfect boss fight. The controls are very responsive, and the test menu is pretty interesting. The attack and wind up are conveyed well enough for someone to understand. And the pillars do their job well. My only real problem is make sure you keep the theming in mind if there is one... I can't see the connection to death being an opportunity here. But if you have a reason, I'd love to hear it! Overall good job! Hopefully you keep making and learn lots about video games!!!
