Very beatiful game. Nice mechanic to ressurect dead enemies. I just didnt like that aim of the spell is where whole character face.... maybe is that part of the challenge :). Nice game overall. tnx for game :)

Great game, I had fun playing with it! :)

The camera felt a little too close for me. Also, when attacking you only attack in the right direction if you hold down the mouse button, if you just click and release it, the character turns back into moving direction and shoots that way. I could not attack the boss with my minions alive and they did not attack the boss either. But it is a nice little touch that the hp of the minions decrease over time. I would have liked if my minions could aggro/taunt the enemies off of me.

Nice game overall, well done! :)

Great game. It was fun to play. But the second level was hard, losing all your minions and still having to get some knights to begin with. Thanks for the game.

Good job ! but it is hard to aim with this movement .

Nice idea for the gameplay! I also liked the aesthetics. As for the controls:
-it's a bit weird that you have to move diagonally to go straight; maybe think of how to change the way input affects your character's movement in your CharacterController
-if you have LMB as the attack button, it would be better if the character shot in the direction the cursor is pointing; if you want him to just shoot in the direction of movement, maybe change the button to Ctrl
Apart from that:
-I like the fact that you managed to add settings to your menu; it would have been even better if you also added it to the pause menu
-in the second level I got pushed away from the map by the summoned companions xD, so make sure to set up your collisions in a way that prevents this.
Of course those are just some suggestions in case you wanted to keep developing your game. I'm aware 10 days was a short amount of time and you did really well (especially since your game is much more refined than mine xD)

Played and rated.

Overall I enjoyed playing and like the art aspect of the game. It was interesting to resurrect the enemies. The only downside in my opinion would be the controls, it was hard to aim where I wanted. Great work for making this during the game jam!

My submission is very similar to yours, would appreciate if you take a look and rate as well: https://hadilepanda.itch.io/rise-of-necromancy

Fun game with an epic sound track, but I agree with some of the others that the controls are a bit awkward.

The movement and shooting while moving were a little difficult for me, but I still had a lot of fun fighting the monsters. The graphics, the atmosphere, and the audio are amazing too. I especially loved the ice shattering sound. I'm not sure it matches the ice still intact when it hits something, but it was my favorite. Also, saving progress is a fantastic bonus.

Awesome gameplay! The graphics look super good, the environment looks great and the music really sells the atmosphere.

Very cool gameplay, although the control of the character was a bit difficult (got stuck on the sides of the walls a lot, and aiming with the keyboard was difficult). But the environment and the enemies where very fun and so where my powers. Didn't expect such a game from a game jam. Good job!

Great job! I really liked the game. You should definitely take some screenshots cause this game was really awesome. My only suggestion for the game itself is to consider shortening the resurrection cooldown a bit but the game was a lot of fun! Do the ice and fire have different properties? Great job!

Thank you for your feedback! Ice have a little greater range and a gives a bit less damage
