The spritework is very good. Especially for the MG, it communicates a lot of personality.

Small nitpick, the sound effect for gathering spirit flames has a pop (from starting/ending too abruptly for the AudioStreamPlayer I think). It’s the most frequent sound effect in the game, so it becomes extra noticeable.

Regarding the controls, they were intuitive (pc player) except for the attack buttons. They make sense, but like the other player mentioned, I just kept forgetting them. If we could reference them anywhere (e.g. pause menu), that would be fix enough.

(these bullet points are mostly echoing other comments, I wrote it before I read them)

• When teleported after transforming, if it happens to coincide with an enemy’s position, we take damage. If we could have a second of invulnerability after transforming, we could get our footing first. Or leaning into it, if we had an aoe blast attack only when we first transformed, it would instead become incentive to aim for the enemies to take several of them out on arrival.
• The game would freeze for several seconds on the first transformation.

I actually really enjoyed this once I understood what was going on; the game just kind of throws you in and the transformation and ghost grabbing thing was a bit confusing at first but once I got it I had a lot of fun switching back & forth and managing resources/moving in the real world to conserve meter etc.

I genuinely love the main character in this; the animation of her doing the weird goblin squid walk & doing the headbobbing/hair rocking thing is genuinely mental just in terms of how much heart and soul it imbues in her, love the contrast too it helps elevate each phase of her really well

I think a lot of the gameplay ideas were quite solid & you can clearly create great art and characters; obviously the time scale and your experience had you struggling but I think there's a real diamond in the rough with this!

Now create more please 😈

Some cool character art in this game! I like the character's tired pose in the sections between waves, and the ghosts are cute! I did have an issue where when I transformed the first time i died immediately; I think maybe the game spawned me on top of a ghost? Either way, it's a fun little game

Some major lag when I first transformed, wish the transformation could be a LOT longer. 

As said with others having longer in the magical girl phase would be better! Just felt dragged back to reality too quick. The art is really nice though and the game plays well when in the combat sections! 

What I Liked:

• LOVE the phantom version of the character, it feels very Dandadan
• Love the normal version of the character, she looks how most of us feel every day
• Game feels like a 2000's flash game in the actual best way
• The game is really simple, but it's so fun! I kept losing at wave 3, but I kept wanting to try to beat it.

Notes:

• I would like time between rounds to be longer, ideally maybe just pause the time between while the player is in the shop area so they have time to buy upgrades
• I had a weird bug, possibly, where I hit a spirit enemy and they zoomed far off the screen where I couldn't kill them for money.
• I strongly dislike the control scheme. Every time I restarted the game and it showed me the controls, I was like, yeah, yeah, I know the controls but I did not. I forgot every time.
