Not entirely sure I see the theme being expressed through this game, but thankfully that isn't technically necessary for a Ludum dare submission! The MMO-style combat is something I haven't seen much in game jams before, so it's certainly neat to see someone try that! One thing I wish was that the hitboxes of attacks were a little more clear, sometimes it was hard to tell that I wasn't successfully attacking the enemies, and similarly hot-keys for the different summons would have been nice instead of having to click them (or maybe there are some, and I just couldn't figure them out!). All that said though, still very impressive to make a game in such a short amount of time, and this is a fair few levels too! And there seems to be good thought going into the mechanics and level designs, I'd love to see this polished up a bit in the future.
