The game is looking great but imho It becomes too difficult very quickly. The leaderboard is a nice addition. Nice music. Good work!
Yeah game definitely needs more balancing. Thanks for the feedback.
Really nice game! Unexpected the global highscore! I really wanted to put in my game as well!
Thanks. I love good competition. :D
very nice game =D
Thank you =D.
Challenging stuff! But very polished, I felt like this was well put together. Nice theme explanation as well, solid stuff!
Thanks. We wanted to make something simple but polished.
That works quite well - I'd like to see it where a different button cast each spell. Excellent sound and projectile speed tuning, I like how the mana management impacts aim timing/angle too :)
Thank you, we realized that out spell selection wasn't the best but it was a bit to late to change it. Maybe after voting ends we will add that feature.
Such a cool idea and use of mechanics! I loved how hitting an enemy with the wrong weapon yielded different effects depending on the combo. Such a clever idea!
Thank you. Yes, side effects of hitting enemy with wrong spell was something that really made it better, it can be confusing at first for sure.
Good looking hard game. It was kind of hard to distinguish at first but good job
Thanks, it can be confusing at first.
Great game! I got to the leaderboard and appreciated the difficulty curve. Other then that, pusic graphics, SFX were great! Congrats for this entry!
Thank you!
This was a great submission! Very challenging, but addictive. I’ve rated your game. I hope that you’ll check out and rate my submission as well. :-)
Thanks for the feedback, I will check your game for sure.
Great tough little game, I love that you done a leader board too
Thanks, yeah leaderboard was one of last thing we've added turns out it was best :D.
Cool and fun! Great work!
Thank you!
I enjoyed it. I love the cute visuals and the particle effects. I also love that you can try to block an enemy with your own body however futile that is xD I suck at this game, but I can see the amount of love put into it. This can be its own full game and I'd play the hell out of it. One minor annoyance I had was that I ran out of mana quick and it regenerated too slowly, and mana potions that dropped are usually very far from where I am. Overall nice game, feels polished, but just needs more balancing. Congrats!
Thanks for the feedback, game definitely needs more balancing.
Very fun to play, mechanics are very smart.
9th on the leaderboard :)
Thank you, and congratz on 9th place. :)
As the proud owner of the current 5th place, great game! Really satisfying with great player feedback! I don't know if the game might have been better without a mana system as I felt like I played perfectly and only took the mana pots when I needed them but I still ran out and could do nothing :( Maybe the difficulty could ramp up a tad quicker but that might just be my taste! Red and brown look a little bit to similar, and I would have liked to be able to select my elements with number keys or so as cycling through them got a little bit messy. But overall very addictive gameplay, good job! Ohh and I love the custom curser that is such a great addition!
First of all thank you for your review. We didn't spent much time testing out the game so mana system might feel like it's not balanced enough. Many people suggested different spell switch I can understand why current one can be frustrating later in the run. We are glad you enjoyed it.
Hard game :D
I noticed now in the comments, that you can switch spells... typical me :D
I give it another shot!
Thanks for giving it another shot, I just updated the game page actually with a GIF to show which spells are for what creature, totally understandable we didn't put a clear way that showed it.
My bad! I didn't even read the texts :D
Now i got 4th! ;P
Can you play and rate my game, too?
wow great job 🙌 sure thing I'll check out your game
Amazing game! Love everything about it, you've inspired me to create a game that uses online leaderboards. At first I thought opposing elements destroyed them, but soon realised that it was matching elements.
I'm Lew1s on the leaderboards, second place! (for now)
wow, Congrats on being on the leaderboard. Thank you for that 🙌 btw if you are interested, I used Lootlocker SDK for our leaderboard, and was easy to implement. Took me 3 hours to implement and was a last-minute thing to add. But I'm glad to have inspired you to put this feature in your future games. One of the lootlocker team actually played the game 😅
Yo, thanks man! I'll keep that in mind. That's dope! I hope y'all can make a full game out of this, I'd be interested in trying it out for sure!
Very hard at first, but defo cool game

HighScore = 119.
Really fun and beautiful, cool mechanics.
It was really hard
Thank you for playing our game, sorry that you find our game hard, but totally understandable, we should have been clearer on saying which spells are for which creatures. But we have updated the game page to show this clearly with a GIF. Thank you for your feedback
Fun game, frantic music suited the mood. One thing I think that might have helped me, was allowing the mousewheel to change spells, as it got more frantic, the using the same fingers for movement and switching got a little much, though that could just be me! Great jam game!
