Magic is restored to the world!

I like the look of the game, and it's very fun. The controls and speeds of character and bullets feel good, a boss fight with multiple phases is always fun to deal with and the bullet patterns are beautiful, the difficulty is one point and grazing for mana is a good implementation of the theme.

The game would probably benefit from some sound feedback when you get hit, and maybe when the boss gets hit too (and I guess the bullet triggering an impact instead of going through might be good too), but that's really no big deal.

Well done, thanks for sharing.

Very cute characters, great bullet patterns, and an interesting central bullet-grazing for ammo mechanic! I would love to see a little more player feedback for when you are picking up mana and when you are doing damage to the boss. Maybe a particle effect when you pick up mana, and flashing the bosses sprite to show damage is being done? Overall, nice work!

That's a good one. I love the character designs specially, the witch is adorable, and the wizard dude just looks awesome despite being more simple, specially on the cutscenes. Speaking of that, I'm  also always a sucker for little stories on jam games so that have my thumbs up too x)

Gameplay itself is pretty simple tho, but it does it's job fairly well.
My complaints are once again on hitboxes tho, they did feel a little too big for a game that wants me to be constantly grazing bullets, I'm not sure wheter it's the player's or the bullets's, but I did feel like I was taking damage when I shouldn't. This might also be because of the lack of feedback on damage thought, I actually took a while to realize how big the hitboxes were because of that. I was just squeezing myself wherever I saw openings and tought I was doing fine, but then when I blink again I'm suddenly on the grave. I only really realized the hitboxes weren't as small as I was expecting once I started to pay attention to the health bar on the corner.
And the syphon range kinda has the opposite problem, it feels a little too small :P
Like, I need to be kissing the bullets for it to work, and even then sometimes it just doesn't budge for some reason.

I love some of the bullet patterns tho, specially the spiral-loopie-snakie one on the last phase, not only because it looks cool but also because I managed to squeeze myself into one of the loops and machinegun down the boss from there and that was satisfying

I liked the energy of the intro a lot, this witch has spunk to spare!

The game was very fun to play, thanks to the very clearly visible hitbox and the big character sprite, the "bullet grazing" was simple enough for even someone who doesn't play many bullet hell games, and it was satisfying to get a lot of mana at once to shoot a big volley at the Arcane Master!

I also like the art, that was very cute! Well done!

Very fun mechanics with the mana use ^^

It took me a bit to get the hang of it but once it clicks it’s really satisfying, for instance, i didn’t imediately see that you visualized the hitboxes for both mana charge and the hurtbox, but once i got it i had tons of fun trying to place myself just at the right spot to keep that bar up to shoot back.

Also really cool of you to have put a difficulty select so that everyone can have a shot at seeing the end, had to stick with normal and i barely made it so i can’t imagine how insane hardcore difficulty must be haha O_o

The character designs are cool as well, and i gotta applaude you did extra work to have a different left and right animation to fit the character’s hat, also had a good chuckle at the mage master’s “you can try” frowning expression XD

Overal had fun trying this out, well done :)

Good job! Your game had a sort of similar take on the theme to mine!

I liked the idea, although I did find it a bit hard to find the sweet spot for how close I could get to bullets to be able to absorb mana without taking damage. Although I'm not really sure what else you could have done to improve that. The art was pretty nice too!

Thats a good one, after many tries I could win on hardcore.

Interesting idea, you gotta find a bullet pattern which is not risky and predictable in order to charge your mana. Really had to switch my usual shmup tactics on that one.
Note aside I would've loved some silly voice acting on the intro. Hearing "you can try" with a fake sinister voice could've been funny. Cute plot haha.

I liked the limitation's implementation! Having to move near projectiles is a fun way to introduce risk/reward. I will say that the absorb radius felt a little small and some sort of visual diagetic feedback would make it feel a lot better. 

I had fun with this one, though I admittedly couldn't beat it. I got close!

Really nice art! I like the mechanic of going near bullets to charge mana, makes me have to play more risky. I wish the character could move faster though, would feel less sluggish perhaps. But overall great game!

I like the drawings a lot and the idea is pretty interesting. It’s quite difficult :)

The character art is pretty cute. Nice lore explanation for the grazing mechanics. Good job!

I like the idea of having to syphon off mana from the bullets but the constant drain was hard to keep up with. Also feedback on hiding the enemy would be good as my bullets would go right through and I wasn’t sure I was doing damage at first. Nice work though!
