Its nice as you need to manage multiple stuff at the same time it seems that in this screen I cant click the icons, it drags the bar instead(maybe the resolution is too small?) but I liked the originality as I have never played something similar.

Hmm, you're probably right, I may have made the button too small (and maybe I should have given them priority over the slider)

It's cool if you found the game interesting.

Very cool take on the theme, very creative (though i'm not sure if someone completely uninitiated with Buddhism will be able to draw the link).

I like shooting the matching spells at the enemies (cool implementation of the CD card), as well as the fitting zen music. And love the monk sprite!

I didnt manage to figure out how to decipher the chants though. Might have missed a clue from the tutorial!

Developer

It's cool you enjoyed it.

To decypher the text, you have to first click on the nodes on the line, than pull the slider on the line once everything is orange. But it's a bit too conceptual, I should have put a gif in the tutorial instead of just a pic.

Very fun premise for a game. I enjoyed it a lot!

Thank you. Glad you liked it

Original game! Progress seems to stay at 100. Even with all the distractions, you can still complete texts easily, once you understand how.

Developer

Thank you. 

Progress stayed at 100? I'll look into it.

Really cool game and original concept. I do think a lot of distractions hit very early, I would have liked to ease into it more and learn the different spells one at a time. But overall pretty impressive for a game jam game!

Developer

Yeah, a tutorial would have been great, but we forgot about it in the rush. Definitively something we'll keep in mind next time. 

Happy you enjoyed it.
