very interesting game! like some of the other comments, I couldn't see the game very well at the size the viewport is.
however, I find the gameplay pretty fun. I kinda wish that the projectiles would fly off in different directions depending on where you hit it, but that's just me. slashing and dashing felt very good! while playing I was thinking, "how does this incorporate the jam's theme?" and I couldn't really figure it out myself until I read the description. I didn't make it to the end on any attempts, so maybe there was a cutscene I missed? X)
tl:dr,
very good game, but I kinda wished there was more representation of the theme! :)
