Now this is a game that feels nice to play! I like the lighting and the protagonists' sprite too.
This one was great. The controls were super smooth and it felt really nice to move around. I found the physics to be kind of unrealistic, but it felt very intentional and tight (as opposed to buggy/careless) and as a result I really enjoyed how everything moved. In other words, I like that you obviously put care into how the objects moved as opposed to just letting them ricochet around the map with no limits. I think my favorite part was the level progression and the introduction of new mechanics. I would definitely play this if it were expanded.
Very good execution, Fun little puzzle-like action game.
Thought it would be some generic platformer puzzle game,
but this one has got some actual well-thought-out scenarios that challenge me to think about my actions.
Shooting my white magic removes some hassle needing to move my player over, while striking my wand gives some more precise controls. When you make puzzles you never want players to be actually out of control. I think you have done a good job in securing that bit of control.
Puzzle elements are added incrementally, and i got ample time getting familiar with their properties.
Did i mention that your game controls very smoothly? really nice little piece of game done.
Thank you I'm really glad you liked it!
I like the overall concept. It's a nice puzzle plate former that fit the theme. Level design is well though out.
I dig the pixel art style. It's a shame that you ran out of time for the sound, but overall the rest work. Didn't encounter any bug and you made 15 level, so kudo !
very cool game, the game feel felt quite empowering :D actually reminding me of this game too, which is kind of similar to yours :) https://itch.io/jam/gmtk-2020/rate/699747
Thanks! I just went and checked out that game too!
Great work! I felt that the deflection mechanic was sufficiently juicy - that is, it felt really good to interact with! There are some clever ideas here with level design too. Some sound effects and music would definitely make the experience better, but as it stands this feels like a solid submission.
It was a really fun game, good job!! 👍
PS: I barley used the little projectle... not much use for it in my opinion...
Really? My sister preferred the projectile over the melee attack every time, must be up to preference. Thank you for this very valuable feedback!
If this game had music it would improve it. But its that good that its still good without music.
OMG i really love it! <3
really great work! the hectic nature of the physics makes it super satisfying to pull off cool trick shots
Really good job on the puzzle design and difficulty ramp up. Each level built upon aspects of others. Awesome work!
Super satisfying puzzle game, even given the haphazard way you have to wrangle the pieces into place. The game is very clean, the graphics looks great, and I would love to play more!
Super cute, super fun. Some soundeffects would have been nice, other that that really polished game
If I had just one more hour I would have implemented sound effects lol. Oh well, thanks for the feedback!
I know the feel, our game has barely any sounds. I think some chill music in the background would have been great. A weekend is just not enougth time to do everything xD
Finished the game, difficulty ramped up nicely. Great take on the concept
Game works like a charm! Some levels are quite easy for me. However the last few were a bit tricky. I liked the concept. Great game!
Great game. Really original and fun to play.
Hi, the developer here! I'd like thoughts on the difficulty of the game. Also were you able to finish all of the levels?
Fun! Took me a few levels to really see how it fit the theme, but I quickly saw how it was out of control
Very cute artwork! I liked the mechanics
Thanks, I'm really glad you liked it!
Awesome game. Very fun take on the theme.
Thank you for playing!
