This one absolutely ruled -- came here because the title contains my online handle, but stayed because the game was a delight. The audiovisual style is wonderful (the groovy music alleviates frustration well and Wizzle's walk cycle is great) and the puzzles get very tricky as the game goes on. There's a lot of potential in this one and it's definitely a standout entry, congratulations!
Team Wizard :D This game looks great, sounds great and feels great! The icicle jump mechanic is genius and the wizard animations are simply adorable I love the way the hat flaps :)
That's a very nice take on the double jump mechanic! It doesnt seem that jumping or shooting alone are used that much so have a single button to do both is quite a good idea! It gave me so vibe from Celeste, which is a pretty good goint in my opinion ahah Well done!
Great concept! I really think the lack of cayote jumps makes it a bit frustrating . Zooming levels were amazingly designed though, I totally don't expect this level of design from jam games.
Really original and interesting icicle-riding mechanic! Impressive also how many rooms introduce a different mechanic. This game is so polished it could be a Celeste DLC!
What a great platforming mechanic! Honestly wanted to play more even after I got to the ending. I do wonder if there is a way to fine tune the mechanic so that you don't need a dedicated button that both jumps and shoots an icicle at the same time. It was very much needed in this version of the game, but it feels a bit.... unnecessary(?) to have a separate button that does something that two other buttons already do.
My favorite moment in the game was probably when you grabbed the golden icicle and the storm settled in. It felt surprising but really ramped up the intensity in an interesting way.
I really enjoyed the VVVVVV style "room names" as well, what a fun callback to a great game!
Oh and special props to David L. for writing the music- a banger tune! I think the background track played a big role in my enjoyment of the game.
Very good platformer, with a lot of potential to grow into a full title. Jumping over the icycle was really cool. I only had a small issue with having to press C and D at the same time. Perhaps a different key configuration would be beneficial.
yeah, all of us who worked on the project play with arrow keys, so we didn't think about how awkward the controls would be with WASD, will definitely add better alternate keybinds post-jam
My kind of game, this is super fun, nice work!
Absolutely incredible mechanic, really innovative and fun to play with. Level design is also great, I loved the one where you have to go all the way back across 3 screens really fast. Overall, excellent entry!
Nice little game! Had some struggle figuring how to do the jump icicle all times but when i figured it out it was satisfaying ! GG
With enough tweaking, I feel like the jump/shoot mechanic has the potential to be a really, really engaging platformer main mechanic, up there with Celeste’s dash.
yeah even in just this gamejam version theres a bunch of cool tech you can do with it, we were having a lot of fun messing around with the mechanic. try doing the legendary triple icicle jump! (theres may be some secrets hidden in the game that need it)
mastahpiece, mwah!
Very nice art. Gameplay is also quite good altough the jump-shoot mechanic is a little bit too hard to perform.
hit c
Nice art style and mechanics, but some levels are a little too hard for me. Good game overall
Nice puzzle design and great music. The controls are also very smooth once you understand the jump-platform mechanics. Good job.
Really polished and unique and interesting mechanic! I got to the icicle juggling level and then it got too hard for me :D
That was fun! Pretty cool series of jumping puzzles. Well done.
Really enjoyed this one! Interesting mechanic accompanied by fun levels and when it ended I wanted more :D
incredibly cute wizard adventure that's worth trying out!!
Simple and effective gameplay loop, while still being challenging. On top of that, cute visuals :)
