Swapping between the different Council members and using their skills is great. Like what others have already pointed out, the maps are too big which results in a large chunk of time spent on traveling. I managed to reach the 3rd level by using the speed boost but I will still run out of time in the end.

Very nice pixel art work.

Music is nice too!

I like the arrows pointing at enemy locations. Very useful when finding and defeating enemies is priority number one to keep the timer under control.

Very fun when the rooms layout and enemy distribution well balanced.

However, if you get bad RNG the game experience turns very bad and feels unfairly difficult.

I couldn't clear the second level no matter how many times I tried.

Some improvement suggestions:

- There needs to be a way to run faster. I spent a good chunk of time walking empty halls watching as the timer goes down without any enemy in sight to help replenish the time. Either that or make the corridors connecting areas with enemies shorter, so that the down time isn't as long and the player stays engaged in the action.

- The bottom UI covers part of the screen and makes it extra difficult to take down enemies located in that area of the screen. This is especially troublesome when facing the arrow enemy that hits from a distance. The player won't be able to avoid taking damage in this situation.

Great work, team!

With some tuning I feel it could become a really solid game!

Really love swapping between the council members, I think that mechanic in itself can go very far! And good job on the art!

Have to second that the maps are a little too big -  I was optimizing my movement by swapping to Bae/Mumei to get speed boosts to move around quick, but still could only get like 1 and a half levels done. Definitely would try to tone down the map size a bit so you're actively gaining time by playing well, and not losing it walking between rooms (or just make it so you don't lose time outside of combat?)

I noticed at one point all my controls got swapped? I think this might have been one of Bae's debuffs, but it was just permanently inverted and that was really disorienting cause it was near the end of my run.

But there's some solid foundation here and some interesting stuff to work with, and it sounds like the team is planning to come back after the jam and add more content, so it'll be great to return and see what's changed. Good work!

I dig the concept, execution is a bit rough but I get what you were going for. My biggest complaint would be the maps get so big you waste more time walking than fighting.

Fun little game. 

I liked that you could switch between the characters and use their different abilities.
