Zui's Witch Academy's itch.io pageGame's Take on the Theme
We decided to rotate the arena and the player's decks for creativity and unique boss design.
Did your team make the majority of the art and music during the jam?
yes

Very good! Sometimes though there is so much action that I don't know what is happening. Despite that, some times I'm still performing good :)

Incident at Station DeltaPotential winner here! I've tested around 50 submissions, and this is by far the best quality I've seen so far. 5 stars in Visuals and Boss Design—well deserved!
However, I felt a bit overwhelmed during the fights—there’s so much happening on the screen that I didn’t always understand what I was doing or what I was supposed to do. Your game has so much depth, maybe even too much for me (totally personal opinion).
That said, the quality is top-tier, and the artistic direction is incredibly well done.
No matter the final ranking, you should be super proud of this amazing submission!

Wheel of RunesGreat game!
I tried it before and rage quitted on Mimi, because it was a bit too hard. But now it is quite doable and I managed to beat all bosses on normal difficulty. Music is nice and I love Mimi theme, though it feels like it abrupts a bit rough, when looping. Some other things I noticed:
- Text for some spells doesn't fit in text box, for example description of the spore spell;
- In the tutorial I by accident skipped one of the tutorial lines by pressing on of WASD keys, so perhaps not all keys should skip the dialog;
- Tea boss has phase, when it dashing in your direction, but it does nothing, like you don't get hit, even if you just stay on one place. Perhaps it is a bug?
- Chess boss somehow has super low hp, like it died maybe in 15 seconds, unless there is some mechanic, when some spells deal extra damage to bosses, but I still doubt boss should've fallen so fast;
- Some boss's cards felt a bit weak, I tried rainbow shot and bomb and rainbow shot definitely need a buff. In the end I lost faith in boss cards and was just using spore-necromancy-sparkle, which deal pretty good damage to everything.

Space MisadventureI wouldn't be surprised if this one wins the jam. This is my third day of review, and this one its the ABSOLUTELY BEST game I played in this jam, holy! PLEASE keep up with the project, I am sure people would actually pay to get more of this game. It is absolutely incredible!

Cosmic RogueI had a lot of fun with this one! The art and visuals are top-notch and I'm impressed that you managed to get so much done in a month! My only gripe with this one is that, while rotating the arena makes the game fit with the theme better, the game would probably be improved if the arena didn't rotate at all. Amazing work, overall!

Simi and the Golden BananaEverything about the game is incredibly well put together, however the decision to make the whole arena spin at such high speeds leads a lot of the mechanics and player attacks hard to use or parse

Four Heavenly TrialsUnique bosses with different difficulty levels and a variety of attack options you can customize for each one — this is a masterpiece! 🔥
As for the arena, its rotation doesn’t technically affect gameplay, but it’s super disorienting. I’m guessing that was intentional, but I have to admit — it made me dizzy pretty fast 😅.
That said, the gameplay is genuinely amazing. I can’t believe this was made in just a month!

Deep and DeeperThe music... Chef's Kiss! ❤ You made this game in one month!? You guys are insane xD The art and game feel are just crazy good. GG! ❤

Trinity of Ruin10's across the board. I can't believe how much you were able to put out in only a month. The sound design and music is peak. The level and boss design is fantastic. Enjoyable story and dialogue. beautiful art. And I'm most amazed by your implementation of the spin theme. Alternating abilities on a wheel, which is ALSO switching in sync with the music. AND the map changes based off the music. As a musician, this game brings me so much joy. I'll definitely be saving it to my collection to play again later. Great job!

Geared FateWhat a beautiful art and music. Really impressive! A zoom in feature will be great for someone who like a closer look.

Garden MonarchThe art and music is top notch, really nice job on the game. You should be very proud of this!

The Cursed CarnivalVery, very fun and polished game! I love the attacks of each boss and the many unique spells that are in the game. It also doesn’t feel too difficult or too easy, and the balancing in this game is great. It’s very clear how hard you guys worked on this game, and I think you guys did a good job on this entry!
