Good graphics and I enjoyed the multitask battle, although it was kinda long in my opinion (compared to the rest of the game) :))) Yet I would love to play a more polished version of it.
Very short but I enjoyed it. Definitely a project to expand on!
pretty nice game! i think this has potentially to maybe become a bigger game! keep up the good work :D
Ah I was really looking forward to the next fight lol. It takes a while to get used to splitting your attention between checking where to dodge and looking for particles, but you start to hit a flow state once it clicks. It did feel a bit long for a tutorial fight and there were times where it just didn't feel like there were any particles for a while, but it was still a lot of fun! And Leira's super cute, I'd love to see more of her in the future!
Thank you! Sadly I ran out of time to make more fights so I made the one fight I had more difficult. I really appreciate the feedback!!
what a beautiful little game.
I really liked the art and the funny sound effects. did you record those yourself? I was trying to figure out if it was a human speaking with a lot of effects or just effects :D
the combat, while being very forgiving was a bit to long for me to be honest.
More fights with shorter duration would have been better but I bet time restraint was a big factor here.
well done over all. I enjoyed it :)
thank you! The text sound effects were me going "doot" and then pitching it a bunch of different ways lol, and I agree on making more shorter fights, I ran out of time so I made the one fight I had longer
I quite liked it, it is quite fun and an interesting concept ! Incredible job :D
Short but a fun one, nice art too. Good job!
Challenging for sure to get all the orbs and dodge at the same time (because I don't have a mouse plugged in and on a laptop) but I really like the art and the characters. A suggestion I have would be slow down the speech sound and the thief sound with the volume up was a little loud. Other than that, Great job for only spending a week on it!
It would be too easy with a mouse for you ;)
The art and idea of the game is pretty cool. Well done!
Thank you
Fight mechanic was cool , also loved art style . Fun mini game :)
Nice job !
Well thief should be scared of her after stabbing her 100 times but still doesn't make a single scratch
Great design...
Loved the battle mechanics and the art good job!
Nice game, love the characters art. on thing I would change is the orbs they aren't really visible that well on the sky background. Other than that well done.
Thank you for your feedback! Definitely one of the first things I'll fix if I work on it again
love the art style of your game, and magic games are the greatest
Perfect! rated you all 5/5
Looking forward to the progress of your game, and I would love to make a game like this with your team or you, if you down :)
Wow, thank you! I've never worked with a team before so I would love to try that at some point! My discord is Nova_#9348 (I don't use discord much I hope that's the right thing to share)
Nice game! I needed to focus on the yellow orbs so there was a little challange and the story was funny so all in all a nice game
This game was really fun to play I really liked the game art style and I would play more games like this in the future. Hopefully with more levels!

Thank you!!
The art is so nice and cute! The gameplay concept was awesome. Maybe shorten the fight and add some more would be better but I enjoyed it!
Thank you! and yeah that was the original plan but time got the better of me.
I like how everything seems very polished. The speech sound and speed is different for the Thief from the main character for example. Love little details like that. That there is no more content after only a week is understandable. But it seems like some solid groundwork to me.
Thank you! It's really good to see little things like that are noticed!
