Mechanics were interesting.

Put in those menus, good job.

Theme is fitting.

Selection of graphics and music seemed appropriate.

I had a couple of performance issues which made this harder to play, but it may be down to using the non-installer version. I liked the sound, and the intro music got me hyped! Really nice submission! Good job ibraM!

Fun little game.  I wasn't sure about the firing in the direction you're running so much, with games like this you really need to be able to shoot at them while running backwards.  Running out of magika constantly made it tougher too!  Great effort!

fun game to play. nice Graphics and 3 fun stages. all would I suggest to give the player a chance to shoot 360 around him with the mouse

Fast-paced and satisfying.  No limit on shooting so I had a fun time shidding bullets all over the boss.  At one point my rebirth bar got stuck and I became a god of HP potion.  Udemyguy/10 (excellent!).

Interesting idea for a game, the graphics and sound were awesome. There were a few issues I had with game-play, the enemies move at almost the same speed as the player, so if you manage to get an enemy on top of the character they will drag along as you move, dealing damage all the time. Other than that I found the manna/majicka/ammo system a bit limiting, I kinda felt that it should grow over time and not shrink. The rebirth mechanic was really cool. The only other thing I would have changed is having had the game play more like a top-down shooter where you can shoot any direction, I couldn't hit enemies some times due to rotation issues.

Thanks for the feedback! You have some very valid points. However, the speed changes with the rebirths too so it's only sometimes that they're equally fast.
