Thabks for the detailled response! I did intially plan for the enemies to be more strongly linked to western mythology like griffins and dragons but was on the final 6 hours when designing the last 3 enemies so it's something to be improved for post jam.
As for the audio, I think there is an issue with the audio system I used where if you play too many sounds, it will get overloaded and do weird things.
Really glad you appreciated the artwork and characters! Will be looking to do a post jam patch adjusting some things with all the feedback
