For a first game, awesome job. It accomplished the soul purpose of playing games, to have fun, and I did. Great job.

Simple, fast and enjoyable for what it is! I enjoyed the speed of the character movement, and the zaniness of the battle overall. It's a good start to your game dev journey. Hope to see you round these parts again!

Looks good for your first game :) Would be pretty funny as a mobile game I think

Fun, though crystals spawning on the edge of the screen don't seem to pick up when I go over them and the crystals themselves (or the blue character) might need a slightly bigger hit box, since it seems like there are enough times I go right over a crystal and it does not pick up. Also, and maybe this obvious, just what is the crystals' purpose?

Mana, as a way to force the player to move around the map.

First of all great acomplishment of doing your first game outside of the tutorials, I think that is a great step forward and hope you'll keep it up into the next jams. The game is simple, yet very readable and I can see how you aimed for the theme. Sure there are things that could go better, but overall good job putting everything together ;)
