Despite being a little short (which is by no means a strike against you at all lol, it's a game jam, the games are expectedly short) this was a really fun concept and surprisingly well executed for such a short jam. I really think this is something that has serious legs to expand into a fully fleshed out puzzler.
Literally my only minor gripe is that I think it's maybe not the absolute strongest with the theme. I like that you're helping the hero, but in doing so it sort of makes you the hero to the hero anyway. Still, such a minor nitpick to what is an amazing little game otherwise.
