Some of the nicest looking art in the jam :)

Combat felt pretty good but I felt like I had to get close. I am more of a WASD guy and struggled with the controls.

The music for the 2 wooded areas resets when you cross between them. If you want to keep music playing between scenes, one easy way to do it is to create an autoload or global script that handles stuff like music:  https://docs.godotengine.org/en/latest/tutorials/scripting/singletons_autoload.h...

This is a really strong submission, nice job!

The art and animations are amazing!!  Everything looks so good. The sound effects and music are great too, it feels like a high level of polish and attention to detail. It's also really fun to play! Nice work.

YES! thanks for that smooth fun experience. I love a good topdown melee combat game. Perfectly executed with clean animations and instant feedback. I love that the dashing enemy can stun itself. The artstyle and color pallete are cleeean. Also positional sfx yum. "tutorial like" worms in the beginning. A smooth way to teach the controls without teaching the controls (if that makes sense.)
 great job.

Very cute and fun game! I did find it fairly challenging, a critique that most people have more my game as well so I know the feeling. I think if the player's attack range was just a tad bigger, it would make it feel a lot better and less like I had to hug the enemy to hit them. Art style and sound design are super cute though! Well done. Excellent entry!

Loved the animations and art on this, completely insane to pull this off in the jam time frame. Awesome work.
The controls are good (although I agree that the enemy bump could be a little more forgiving -- or having some kind of parry).
Besides that, amazing submission, awesome work.

Very cool game. Pretty challenging, but doable. The movement speed is fine for this type of game. The dash distance was good, but the feel could probably be improved by adding a curve to the speed.
The biggest problem I had was trying to get close enough to attack, but not close enough that the enemy were able to bump attack me. It took me a while to realize that bumping into enemies damaged me. It just didn't feel very good.

The sounds and music fit pretty well with the game play, though the music might be a tad loud

Good variety of enemies and the placement of the slugs at the beginning to practice attacking and distance was nice.

There's a bit of a bug with the charger where if you're more than a body length away from the left side of a rock, it won't stun when it runs into the rock while it's slowing down.

I like the art and animations. The speed lines really add to the dodge and attacks. And the grass is pretty clever for hiding the acid sheep.

The controls are usable, but I had difficulty with them due to unfamiliarity. I kept mixing up the dodge and attack buttons. I suggest WASD, shift, and space or left click for movement, dodge, and attack respectively.

Fun stuff. The attack being a spin so it's unidirectional is so clever. I like that two of the bull flies could bump into each other. It felt a little sluggish to me at first, but I got used to it. Unfortunately I had some kind of bug or performance issue and music was all bugged out for me, so I couldn't hear it very well.

So nice I played it twice. I was so close to a deathless run.

I see a fellow silk song player lol! The art and music were so crisp and addicting. The top down style was so great I wish more games did this. I do wish killing the bugs upgraded you? If it was it was way too slow. The mask collecting made me think each mask upgraded a specific stat. Felt like an addicting farm cycle! But was severely let down after I killed 30 of each and didnt see any stat upgrade like my time had been wasted. I think showing the number you killed was great motivation and felt like I was always progressing even if it was an illusion lol

The boss fight was also a great finale and finish using skills you learned earlier.

One HUGE critique I have is that the controls are abysmal. I really loved this game but you NEED WASD / E / F controls.  Literally just adding it in the input map would have taken controls from 1  to 5 stars for me lol. You can keep arrow keys also but you immediately alienate a LOT of people with making them play with arrow keys and z and x as that means you have to play with two hands. I gave 5 stars to some of the other criteria but please. Your game is too good to be ruined with such a thing! The majority of gamers have a lifetime of muscle memory built on there left hand. And will find you instantly pretentious or over quirky if you deny them the ability to play this way. 

But fantastic game overall! 

This was AWESOME!! I loved the boss, I would love to play a full version of this!!

Yo this was so cool! The atmosphere was great, and reminded me a lot of Hollow Knight. Controls were smooth and overall with was a super fun game!

i like but the boss is impossible and i  cant move with wasd but the art is fantastic (all the enemies, all the animation andthe ambient) i like it

The art style is superb!! You have a lot of talent if you were able to create in 9 days this whole world with its characters. The characters and the world gave me a Hollow Knight vibe. I like the small detail that the one with the horns would get stunned if they hit a wall, lol. As another commenter said, the short attack range and randomness of the enemy movement make it a little frustrating at times, but I believe this is great for a starting area that teach your the basics, while later you gain more power, more range, maybe even range attacks like fireballs that make you feel more powerful as the game progresses.

I definitely think you have a good base to expand on and you definitely have the visual skills to pull this off. Amazing job so far!
