I like the addition of the scoreboard, seeing other people's highscore is a pretty good incentive to keep trying.
The game is pretty nice, and the graphics are well made - I like the main character's animations, very fluent and expressive.
The game is so hard! You really gotta walk back and forth all the time trying to stop the enemies, and despite the simple nature of the actions it always ends up going out of control for me.
One thing I wish was present was some sort of warning that an attack was happening and from what side - I'm trying to deal with the left side and buffing up those statues, then I come back and all the right side statues have been destroyed!
A very hard game, but very good looking and kinda fine. A solid Jam entry indeed!
