I really  liked the simple and easy to understand design of this game. I had a bit problem to understand the sword swing as the  button control's on left hand were already a lot. It took a bit of time to get the hold of the controls. Apart from that I really loved the simple minded design of yours. Regarding the controls do check out my game too cause it too has a  bit confusing controls.

I like the crazy scientist look mashed up with the fantasy-looking game. Makes me wonder what the story behind hairman is. My only notes would be that allowing the player to move while firing the wand would be helpful, and having the direction of the sword swing tied to the mouse is a little odd (although it made sense once I picked up the wand). Nice job!

Thanks for the review! I wanted to have some drawback for using the wands as I thought they might be too powerful otherwise. Making you immobile seems a bit rash in hindsight, as it affects how gratifying it is to be able to move and dodge. Next time I’ll just slow you down a bit. Thanks again!
