Extremely good submission! Fun to play, simple, very polished. Sound design and music was great. Love the characters. It has good progression in difficulty, and it rewards skilled gameplay. The only minor suggestion I would make would be to have some kind of indicator of progress other than the increasing numbers of more difficult enemies. I wasn't able to last long enough past the third enemy type to know if there's an ending, but maybe a timer like in vampire survivors or a point system or something more subtle maybe, giving you a heads up the next enemy upgrade is coming. Otherwise, really enjoyed this game. Good work!

- Really great game, I spent way to much time playing it. I love the art style it's really fun and the world was nice to run around in. I really love your interpretation of the theme and connecting it to a mother-child bond. The core mechanic of your game is really interesting, normally when you play these games you just want to spam abilities. With this one you have to be very strategic when you attack, watching both the enemies and terrain. The dash mechanic feels really nice and I think is key to bridge the vulnerability gap when you fire the soul at a bad angle. Without being over-powered. The music feels great and the enemies are interesting. The Game Design Document is great I would only say it is missing some future plans. Do you have future plans? Extra enemies, player upgrades? Great work and keep it up!

Please explain how your game fits the theme.
We chose to follow the theme by using only one projectile — the mother’s soul. We also applied the theme to the player’s health, giving them only one chance to survive throughout the stage. These 'only one' conditions make the game’s concept and story more immersive.
