Whoa.
I teared up playing this. I just beat it. I'm shaking.
Thank you for creating this heartfelt and mechanically excellent piece of art.
I think it's really impressive that you told a complete story in four boss battles and the quiet spaces in between. This is my favorite game of the whole jam by far.
I have no critiques, except that it took me a while (for some reason) to figure out that my dash let me dodge enemy shock waves. Maybe its because I don't play a lot of games.
I had a lot of fun optimizing my build to face the different bosses. I felt waves of satisfaction when I nailed my strategies.
And I won't spoil it for anyone reading, but... Wow. What a message.
I hope you make Top 30 and beyond!
