WHOAH! Loveeeeee the pixel-art style, really well done! :D
Thank you :D
gracias :)
I had a real life "points at the screen meme" moment when i saw that witch. I remember downloading her myself to start of an old project.
I really liked it but you can feel the lack of playtesting/considering other people playing. Things like the witch moving way faster than expected or the lack of indicators on what to hit. If you know what you have to do its easy but when you dont like a first time player there is some quess work.
Anyways great project!
yeah, definitely something for us to improve upon, ty for playing!
Nice game I had a lot of fun. I would like a short visual indicator for where you spawn in a new room.
aye aye, glad you had fun! <3
Superb work on this game.
thank you!
thanks :D.
very lovely art and a cool idea. i'm gonna rate this positively and bookmark the game in case u guys do make a post-jam patch :)
thank you, we appreciate you! <3 yeah for sure, lots of fixing incomin lol
thank you :D
the art is incredible
ty for playing <3
nice game overall, however there was a bug in the witch respawning that required me to reload the game.
Thanks for the comment. The respawning broke when we built the game for web and pc so I hope to fix that after the jam.
Nice idea and it plays well enough. Dunno if it was the browser only bug but i couldnt progress past the 2nd level. I'd like if the fireball didn't collide with the witch, that'd make it easier to control
Thanks for the feedback. We definitely need to work on the fireball collision and some of the other issues.
The gameplay is unique and fun, its a little buggy, the third lvl is probably the buggiest and it made me wish there was a reload level button instead of restarting the entire game. Overall very good even with the bugs
yeah, we had a reload but it broke on submission LOL ty for the feedback tho! :)
Nice game! visuals are nice and I love the effects on the spell like screen shake and sound make it satisfying I enjoyed this game nice first jam submission :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the game, thanks for the comment.
thank you!
Really cool concept, the game looks and sounds great! Just a few things made it a bit rough.
The spell feels quite good to control but I would have appreciated some better indication and visual emphasis on dangers to be destroyed. I also think it'd be better to have the spell not collide with the witch, as that might have been what made me die the most and didn't feel quite fair.
The witch also seems to sprint a bit too quickly after respawning which, in some levels, forces you to destroy the first obstacles as quickly as possible in a very narrow time frame, which is a bit annoying.
The which's navigation looks kinda weird but good overall, although it did get stuck at a few points. First it got stuck at a point in the second level, which was fine and I just reloaded the game and tried again. Then it also got stuck I think in the 3rd or 4th level where she kept jumping trying to climb a ladder with no success for some reason. I admit that I quit at that point as I didn't feel like starting all over again, so I don't know how much I missed after that (I didn't find any in-level reload button, it would have been useful). I have the screenshots of where these happened though, I can send it here if it's of interest.
Other than that, nice entry! I personally see potential in it.
Thanks so much for the feedback. I am aware of the issues you were talking about, so when the jam is over ill try to fix them. The game only has three levels so you didn't miss anything after that.
thank you for the feedback! definitely will update the game after the waiting period :)
Great idea and really cool visuals. If only we could have used AI to make the NPC navigation more intelligent, he-he...
Still, love the game!
I'm glad you enjoyed the game, the npc does have some weird movement problems I would have liked to fix.
thank you! and yeah hehe...
