SUPER quality entry, well designed gameplay loop that engages with the limitation in a clever way. Was a bit overwhelmed by the UI at first but I love the dynamic nature of the buff/loadout system. my only issue was the visibility of the essence pickups due to the white/blue palette, but otherwise had a great time playing this!
very fun and great concept!! i love the art and the ui, its rlly amusing that the concept of magic is us being the janitor, excellent job :p
Great creativity.
Should post some more screenshots, maybe some video, this game really broke my expectations.
Liked the idea of using the light not only to damage enemies but to also see them as well. Also liked the idea of choosing what amplifiers you can have on what spell. 10/10 game
Creative and original. Enjoyed the graphics and progression gameplay B) Good job
Enjoyed the game! Liked the way you incorporated the limitation
oh, the horrors of being a school janitor... the style is super cute and the gameplay is very creative too :)
5/5 on everything. Can't say more xd
Very fun and very well polished! The graphics are lovely, and the upgrade system is super fun to use. The amount of information that is shown at just the start though is a bit overwhelming, and it made me assume I'd have to do a lot more thinking than I did.
This is really fun! Great job on the graphics and upgrades!
This is such a super cute idea. I love playing games where you're the unexpected hero! Great use of the limitation :D
Amazing submission! I was pleasantly surprised with the game having a lot of build variety, I did not expect that! The art style and the sound is also top notch! Honestly I don't have any complaints about this game other than I want it to be a full game!
The art style is great! And also the gameplay! Congrats on your submission!!!
Damn, the art, theme and the upgrade system is this game is great! I don't think I have a complaint on anything. Great use of theme!
this is was pretty great, the light effect on the water was nice. got jumpsscared by enemies from the dark a few times. switching between spells was a bit awkward as i was trying to move around ( but i also have small hands)
I was thinking about instead binding the spells to Z, X, and C (or perhaps some other system).
Maybe that would work better as you switch spells a lot more frequently (they had longer CDs when the system was first made)
The upgrade system is very cool, but some of them seemed a bit underwhelming. It was nice to figure out which were better though. Enemy variety was also cool.
Yoooo this is so fun, the upgrade system is really cool and the different spells good fun
Very well done! Fun game
REALLY REALLY GOOD, LIKE, PUT THIS ON STEAM GOOD
Great stuff especially as a solo dev! Love the almost Risk of Rain 2 Command style of upgrading.
Super fun, super polished, 10/10
The animations in this game are super smooth!
