thanks for the feedback and for the kind words!!
we totally get you on the restarts. having to sit through the dialogues again can definitely break the flow, especially when the game is challenging. we'll look into adding a skip feature or making it faster for a post-jam update to keep the momentum going !!
too bad about the boss, he is a tough one (we have an worse one at the end! haha), but it means a lot that you found the experience interesting and beautiful regardless. thanks again for playing and for the honest critique!!
