It is the year 4053. Sentient monsters named Logorbs have invaded the planet and the years of war have left the planet in disarray and chaos. You play a "ranger", a protector of the planet, traveling around, fighting back against the monsters, and saving as many of the remaining humans as you can. However, one mission, a lot of weird things start happening...the ground starts to shake...tears in reality start appearing...and your weapons start passing through Logorbs that are not real...
Controls
WASD to move
LEFT CLICK to attack
SPACE to dash
RIGHT CLICK to throw pinchers picked up by killing Logorbs
Unfortunately, controller support has not yet been implemented, though I hope to do that in the future.
In depth how to play (if tutorial and post tutorial dialogue is confusing)
MINOR SPOILERS FOR FIRST/TUTORIAL LEVEL
There are two types of enemies: Real/tangible enemies which can hurt you and can be hurt, and ghost enemies which neither can be hurt nor hurt you. There is no way to tell them apart at first glance but when hit, real enemies take damage, are knocked back, and turn red. Ghost enemies however, change color to blue and are not affected in any way besides a blue tint by your attacks. It is possible to tell ghost and real enemies apart sometimes by the direction of their movement, real enemies always will move directly towards you while ghost enemies are heading towards some imperceptible other worldly object, meaning they will not always be moving directly towards you.
Purple tears in reality can be used to see inside the spirit realm. When inside these, any enemies that are visible are ghosts. If you see an enemy, look inside a tear, and they disappear, they are a real enemy. If you see an enemy, look inside a tear, and the enemy is still there, they are a ghost enemy. You can still be damaged while looking inside a tear.

I liked the feel of the game and it was fun to play! But at the beginning there was a bug that let you dash out of the map.
Uh oh, did you save any screenshots and/or do you know where specifically?
Yes, you can dash through the lower wall where it says “space to dash”.
ok thank you! I will try to patch this after the jam
