Interesting concept, needs some sound or maybe some more interesting spell combos
I love the idea of an RPG battle system in which you can declare what your spells are, what they do, what they're called, etc. Cool concept, would love to see where it could go in a longer form game.
Very unique idea, would love to see it worked out more. I also got kinda stuck when I didn't have enough MP to cast spells.
I have so many ideas for this base system. My total words list was:
Hurt, Heal, Burn, Shock, Freeze, Buff, Debuff, Steal, Cure, and ManaDrain. Also, I wanted Potions to be in (Under items menu), and you would find these on enemies (using the Steal spell). Along with ManaDrain, Potions would mitigate mana loss.
Thanks for playing! Keep an eye out, as I will probably add some refinement when the competition ends.
I'm honestly surprised more people haven't rated this game. I haven't seen this idea used yet
Thanks! I had so much fun making it. The worst thing is that I didn't get near enough content in. Oh well, that's a game jam for ya!
