Great mechanic that both fits the theme and allows for replayability making me spend a good while trying to make my solution more efficient. 3 staring the later levels offers a good bit of challenge too.

The game has a charming visual and nice animations.

I think that the abilities are fun and enable unique designs but the core movement is tricky for a real time game, it requires a lot of keys but also a mouse which can be very difficult for the average player.

some QOL features feel missing, allow movement and navigation with arrow keys, close menu with esc or space.

Overall this has great promise with the direction and visuals, good luck!

Thanks for the honest review!

The controls are a design choice indeed, we didn't want to have mouse aim and allow firing while running away.

Our main goal with the Jam was to achieve this feel of a horde and the scale.
You mentioned many great points of improvement that we would hopefully tackle after the jam!
