A really fun little game really. I love the old school artstyle and the game play was pretty neat. I especially like how simple the controls were. 

Only two criticisms: 

Background music would have really made this a wonderful experience and its a shame it didn't have any, but considering you made everything in 48 hours I feel it's understandable.

As for the 2nd, due to how little hp is lost when the boss attacks, I was more or less able to cheese the entire boss battle by standing on the top most platform and doing some simple dodges and spamming X fast enough. Some more boss variety in terms of attacks would have also been nice. (maybe having platforms disappear under you and such, it would play more into the wizard having control over the game)

Overall, a nice game! Just needs a little music and more polish.

I liked the general feel and mechanics and really liked that a jam game had a lot of checkpoints and was hard without being overly punishing.

Lovely game, cool style controls and mechanics, only thing I would add is a funky retro soundtrack, other than that is was really cool.

Thank you for being generous with the checkpoints and the health. I actually managed to beat this one instead of getting frustrated and giving up. Well done!

Very fun and challenging.  I love the retro art style.  My only complaint is that the sword being taken away felt kinda pointless since I was never able to kill any enemys to begin with.

I really liked the concept of the wizard taking control and changing the rules. I also liked the old school visual style. I couldn't jump with space for some reason though so it became really awkard to try and move with WASD, jump with Z and attack with X. I ended up having to stop early on because i couldn't get the movements down. Would love to try it again when i can use space to jump because it seemed really fun.

Thanks for playing. It was only after the deadline that I realised I messed up with the inputs, therefore it can only really be played with the arrow keys.

Fun little platformer with a lot of content. It was a pretty standard platformer until the third gauntled, where the rule changes made it more fitting to the theme. I wish there were more of them and that they would be introduced earlier. Also some music would make the game even better. Cool game!

Nice little platformer, I feel like the difficulty could have been ramped up a liiiittle bit. I finished the game and died twice. The boss at the end was a nice addition to the platforming!

The graphics, audio and gameplay work really well together, great game!

A fun game!

The camera was a bit frustrating. There were times where I was just sitting at the top of the screen waiting to scroll up. The health bar was too forgiving as well.

Thanks for submitting it.

Played the game. A pretty polished feel on the whole. Great job. :)

Hey, this was pretty solid!  The controls felt fine, the banter was fun.  The only criticism I can come up with was that the player's health is too high.  It's too easy to face tank the obstacles thrown in your way instead of trying to avoid them.

Altogether, I enjoyed it!
