Maybe a little more as a concept than a full game, but it's a jam after all! I was going to ask if the music was AI, but honestly that's a really good idea for a jam (I relied on beepbox and did not have the same great results you have for sound design). I think it fits the theme well enough, but it would be cool to see more creatures added as playable protagonists if you continue with the game.\n\nQuick feedback:\nI don't see the purpose of the dash, and giving it a cooldown icon like abilities could make it easier to discover.\nThe play button was a little hard to see (the triangle part).\nA pause\/menu button would be a nice feature.\nThe difficulty seemed to be just waiting on cooldowns to guarantee the win, BUT the animations were really cool and felt super impactful (especially the ultimate).","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1100476,"author_name":"LDJam user 388078","author_uid":"388078","epoch":1728497384,"text":"Always love to see Godot \ud83d\ude80","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1100497,"author_name":"Boreal","author_uid":"boreal","epoch":1728497665,"text":"I enjoyed the concept but I really dont feel as though this fits the theme.

The different attacks and movement were very well programmed and the animation for the ultimate attack was quite wonderful. The game was simple but in a good way, even had I missed the tutorial (which thankfully I pressed the question mark first) I still think I would've had a decent idea of what to do.\n\nFails to really match the theme \"tiny creatures\" as even the player seems to be decently well sized against the city. The music being made with Suno and AIVA AI makes it clash heavily with the game and doesn't fit the tone much at all, and it can be best to stray away from generative AI materials as it's generally frowned upon and a legal disaster on who owns it. Even stock music would serve the purpose better.\n\nOverall a solid entry!
