Woah that was fun! The spells were a really cool addition to the bullet hell genre, and the presentation was clean. The only problem was its wayyy to hard! Or maybe I'm not good at games idk. It seems like the enemies have just a bit too much health, and also that 1st spell is a bit too slow to hit much with. A really fun game tho, so good job!

Really good game. Lots of potential, talked with the dev in chat about minor improvements I feel the game could have! Magicka x Bullet hell sounds awesome.

The mechanic of switching between all these different spells was a lot of fun and I got excited after every wave to see what the next spell did!

Love the art work here, as well as the originality and thought it takes to make all those spells! The major aspect I struggled with is the multitasking, where I have 3 tasks: moving, aiming, and spellcasting, but I found myself struggling quite a bit to do all 3 at once. I'm sure with practice I could get better and I'm not sure there really is a way around that but I thought this game was super cool!

I think the game works well functionally and the controls are both responsive and intuitive.  My main critique is to have a bigger/more visible cursor for the player since the mouse can get lost in the bullets.  Besides that, before switching to full screen the left and right of the screen were slightly cut off. I forced a fixed screen ratio myself using Pixel Perfect camera. Fun game!

Interesting mechanics, I had a rough time with dodging the bullets as well but I figured that was part of the challenge. This has alot of potential though, pretty cool submission! C:

In my opinion, the game is not quite on the theme, but in general the game is cool.

Yeah, I figured everyone else was going to do a platformer so I broke the mold and then tried to make it a little more Foddian with progress resetting every death. Thanks for the kind words!

Cool game, although I find it really hard to use the spells and dodge the bullets! But so far I really like the spells combination, this has a lot of potential!

I love this game. I think with more play testes it would be perfect. Rn I don't really think there is a way to beat this game

Thank you for the kind words! I have since realized that the game is a bit too hard. I can beat the game on occasion but most of my friends are unable to get to even the second boss. When I have some more time on my hands I'll try and update the game to make it more beginner-friendly.
