How does you game fit the theme?
You play as a witch, trying to escape the evil overlords guards. To defeat them, you only have your illusion magic available to you.
Sneak behind their backs to place fake platforms, so they will drop to their deaths!
After the first level you can also make clones of yourself to distract certain types of guards!
Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes!
The music and sfx were made by my brother, the rest was done by me.

The concept is cool! I had a lot of fun playing it. I rated!
Very fun and challenging game! The different puzzles really make you think about what you need to do and how to do it without running out of mana. Great job!
Great stuff! The mechanics are creative and fun. The different types of guards and the level design made the game fun and challenging. Super fun and creative!
Haha I like it. Nice work.
Wow! This is a brilliant take on the theme, a puzzle platformer that is actually fun to play and really challenging puzzles! It’s one of those rare gems that I believe more people should play! The graphics style and the background music are a very good fit for the type of game.
Consider adding more levels in the beginning with simple puzzles, to gradually increase difficulty while educating the player!
Nice! I really enjoy playing your game!
Nice game i love the art style i gonne rate can you do that for me to?
Really solid puzzle mechanics. Getting guards to throw rocks at other guards with the clones is really fun. The witch feels good to control, with is always nice. More variety in the level design would have been nice, but great job overall.
I really enjoyed getting the guards to pelt each other with their own stones. Great work!
Very innovative game design. The puzzles are fun and I like the hand painted art style.
I was really surprised by this game and its quality! The art is simple but visually appealing and does a good job of conveying what is happening. The music and sound effects are also quite basic but fitting. The gameplay itself is a unique idea that fits the theme very well. The puzzles are also designed very well, doing a good job of slowly ramping up in difficulty.
I only had a couple issues when playing. One being that the movement felt a little off, sometimes feeling like jumps wouldn't work near ledges. The other being that solving the puzzles could take awhile even after knowing the solutions, meaning that failing a puzzle due to missing a jump or miss-timing a spell cast (which were both fairly easy to do) would waste a lot of time. Maybe this wouldn't have been as noticeable if the levels were broken up into more smaller levels.
Overall this was a very enjoyable game that fits the theme very well!
Very interesting and original game! I really enjoyed playing this, good job!
Only two problems I had were that on the small pillar things, I sometimes could not jump (probably ground check that doesn't work 100%), and placing clones is not very clear (I always was hovering air while holding the mouse button, but you can only place one when you hover the ground)
Aside from that, very cool game with interesting mechanics! I hope this gets developed further after the jam!
It is more challenging than I initially thought it to be! Had to resort to some good timing and strategies! Bravo!
It was load of fun and ended up playing for a lot longer than I thought. All 5 stars ^-^
Great game! I had a lot of fun with this one. Great job! The music a little bit repetitive and I felt like it could fit the game a bit more. But everything else was creative and fun.
This is a really cool game that fits the theme really well. Can you rate my game?
I liked very much the art of the game and concept of it. For me I couldnt go past the second level, maybe Im stupid or maybe the clone mechanic is pretty broken. TLDR I could love your game more if I could pass the second level haha. Also the music was way too repetitive, but enjoyable
Thank you for playing! Could you tell me what went wrong with the clones? I want to try to fix some of the bugs..
Hey!
First of all, great game! The art is very cool and the music and sound effects are really nice! I love the overall gameplay. The jump was unresponsive from time to time for some reason, but maybe is something from me. Also, the theme could have been improved a little bit. Nonetheless, amazing work, you did a really great job!
Congrats!
I would love to have you playing mine too, if you don't mind of course! ^_^
Was the jumping unresponsive when standing on a wall/near an edge or at different times too? Thank you for your feedback!
Right, when standing on the wall.
Thanks for your quick reply! Yeah that's a bug caused by a stupid mistake from me. I will upload the new version without it after the voting is done.
No problem, it was a really fun game after all. I'm sure it will get better with some updates.
It would be awesome to have you playing mine too!
Just did, it's really good :)
Thanks!
Really clever idea! Love the art style too - reminds me of medieval art in a thematic way.
Super solid entry! It was a real challenge too! Loved the simple look and animation of the game, and the mechanics were really fun. I only ran into a few bugs where I was on top of one of the pillars and couldn't jump again for a moment. Clever use of the theme though and really well put together game overall. Good work!
Yeah I've already found fixed that bug, will upload a new version after the voting period :). Thanks for your feedback!
