This was so fun! The controls are responsive, the hit impacts are satisfying, and I love the pixel art. Also, I defeated Osseus! The only thing I can really say is I want to play more levels!
Thank you so much :D! Glad you liked it :)
This is an addicting and fun game, great work =)
Thank you soo much! :D
Really good game, congratulations! I like the idea of kiting while teleporting. My only problem with this game is that I would enjoy some more levels. Good job! :)
Thank you! I would have loved to add more levels, maybe a new level if/when the player dies would've been cool :D There were loads of different features we wanted to add but before we knew it we were already on day 10 and it was time to submit. Thanks again for your feedback though, it's much appreciated! :)
Yeah, it was the same in my case too :D Anyway, keep up the good work! :)
Absolutely loved your game!!! Though it was very short it was an amazing experience and I would love to see more of it.
Thanks :D!
Very cute and exciting little game! I really liked the big spell and teleportation system. I have only 1 question though: how does the big spell work? I noticed that when I used it only amidst little skeletons it exploded in a big area but when I used it right next to the boss, it expanded only for half of its size. That made it so that I couldn't defeat the skeletons that were behind the boss with the AoE spell. Is it intended? o:
In any case I managed to complete the game and I found it quite fun, really great job! The pixel art was nice as well and I liked the light effects since they were present but not excessive! :)
Thank you so much for all your feedback!
Yeah, in regards to the AoE spell it destroys the particle effects on collision but we had to disable damage dealt to the boss because it was triggering multiple times and insta-killing the boss xD We only got around to disabling the damage but not the actual particle destruction which is why it doesn't pass through him.
I remember playing your adorable cat game! Thanks again for playing our game, I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
pretty cool game, graphics & sounds are pretty good , the game mechanics are fun , i liked the teleport & the blast thingy , wish there were some power ups every now and then to help you up.
Thank you! Power ups would be a really fun thing to add :D thanks for the suggestion!
Great jam game, especially in terms of the length of the game and number of mechanics and concepts. I like the art (especially UI, I miss big health bars) and music direction, and it controls in a satisfying way. The difficulty helped make it satisfying since it took me a few tries.
I also somehow forgot about the teleport immediately. I suppose the last thing on the list is glossed over if the rest is so straightforward.
Thank you!! I'm really glad you liked it, it seems a lot of people forgot about the teleport :') You're right I think because it's at the bottom it's easily missed/forgotten.
We made the decision to go with the big health bar for the boss so it would be like a progress bar :) and if we had time I think we would have made the player health/mana bigger or at the bottom of the screen to make it more obvious.
Thanks again for your feedback I really appreciate it!
A nice game and the right click spell was really cool. It would be a bit easier for beginners if there wasn't as much skeletons at first. The look was really cool and it was a good game.
Great Job!
Thank you so much! and thanks for the feedback it means a lot. It is definitely quite challenging at first.
I'm glad you liked it :D
It was fun running in circle kiting the skeletons, and blasting a large chunk out with right click. It would be even better if you add more abilities and enemy types! The controls are good and the sprites are cute. Great job!
Aww thank you! We would have loved to add more abilities and enemies, we even made sprites for a casting skeleton, but sadly we were very busy so we ran out of time in the end. I'm really glad you enjoyed it though, thanks again :)
Great art, frantic gameplay, and Osseus doesn't mess around. Definitely has been wanting to play over and over again. The variety of options really makes you think on your feet.
Thanks I really appreciate it, I’m glad you found it fun! :)
This is a hard game. I like the pixel art it is really nice. The game play is fun and the spells are good. The music lends to the frantic pace of the game. This is a nice game for the game jam. Keep it up great work.
Thank you so much! Yeah you’re right it’s difficult, I’m amazed some people have beat it without the teleport, I can barely beat it normally lol! Thanks again for your kind feedback :D
Nice game and the art(sprite and etc) is pretty good looking!
The gameplay is also intersting and combination of shooting and areal damage is a good one. Maybe it could be a little faster but its cool anyway:)
Thanks I’m glad you liked it :)
really nice music
i like the particle effects and textures
gameplay can be impoved on, too many enemies lol
Thanks for your kind comments and for your feedback, you're right the skeletons can soon add up! The right click ability is a one-shot to the skeletons incase it gets too much.
Thanks again I appreciate it! :)
U really caught the felling on this one. Definetly on of the better games out there!
Thanks so much :D
This is a great example of keep things simple!
Great looking assets, blast skellings, responsive controls, very smooth and feels fun to play!
Thank you! We really appreciate it, I'm glad you enjoyed playing :D
Really nice work! the art looks great, I especially liked that pentagram attack. Teleporting around was fun too. I do wish that holding down LMB would continuously launch the fireballs, though, so the player wouldn't have to spam click. And bonus points for including how to play in the game (rather than only in the description below.)
Thank you so much!! Originally we were going to add more abilities but unfortunately we ran out of time T_T
I'm glad you had fun, and thanks for the suggestion for holding down the LMB, that's a good idea! :)
Hard but fun, I defeated Osseus! Great effects and artwork!
Actually I forgot you could teleport until after I beat it, so that would have helped! heheh
Hahahaha oh dear you’re not the only one who forgot about the teleport, to anyone who completes it without I’m impressed! I certainly can’t win without it lol
Played and rated, really love your submission great job! :)
