This is awesome! I think it really feels quite well polished for a game jam game.
In general, I like the art style and I think it's really cohesive. I like that the player "Viggy" subtly stands out from the background and the rest of the characters.
I think there's some interesting gameplay of deciding whether you want to take risks to get potions to do magic, or just YOLO it and go directly to the keys.
I think that it's really cool that you got virtual controls working so you can play on phones. Did you program that yourself from scratch, or use a plugin or something?
A couple critiques:
- Collisions didn't feel quite spot on - occasions where it didn't look like I was touching the wall, but I was blocked, or I swore I didn't touch an enemy but I died (I suppose we always feel this way haha).
- I felt that the music didn't quite feel like it fit....I think it would've been really awesome if you had been able to find an 8-bit track to complete the feel!
- I felt the virtual control buttons could be a bit bigger
But really awesome stuff!
