I think some extra gameplay feature to be very fun, congratulation for finishing the jam
Felt like i just had to spam the combos, didnt really look at any of the enemies, just the combos.
Good job! great game!
The gameplay was super simple to understand yet so addicting!
I very quickly got into a flow state casting spell after spell.
Both the art style and music were so charming!
Some more variety in combinations overtime could be nice touch but overall amazing work!
Really fun game!
Cool submission!

Maybe the mechanics need to be adjusted, like only one shield can be in effect at a time, and the one behind will take over the former one, or an elite enemy that requires a specific sequence of shield combinations to be defeated, or some friendly penguins come to join you but your shield will push them away
Overall it was pretty fun! Like it very much!
