I really enjoy the idea of spell combos, casting things with user input, shameless plug for Lina: Suika Hunt a game of mine which also relies on fast directional input, and let’s not forget Helldivers 2 with it’s strategems

Unlocking new spells, learning what they do, trying to figure out and outcombo an enemy is satisfying and you feel more and more powerfull over the run.

Graphicall the game looks really good for a jam game, it has some pixel scaling mis-match but nothing offputting. Spell effects are cool, and many mechanics to learn. Music and sounds effects are nice.

The only thing that hinders this game at the moment are the few bugs left here and there, some small, some bigger, but after those are ironed out, I can see a nice future ahead of this game! BUT! I persisted through and didn’t regretted it, had a blast shredding other wizards with Sandstorm!

The sprites are really nice, game feels pretty polished and mechanics are fun.

I liked memorizing the spell combos, and it felt good to unlock new spells. I think the game could benefit a lot from a few more SFX. Things like a different sound for entering a direction, completing the spell, and failing for some instant feedback would make the spell input more satisfying, since it's the main way to interact with the game.

Also a few bugs I found were the poison shield and frost coat seemed to stop taking input in the middle of the combo? As well as gamer difficulty didn't seem to be able to trigger the direction UI anymore, but dunno if it's just on my end.

Overall, I enjoyed my time playing this. Great work!

The only thing I feel it is missing is some sort of SFX for failing a spell or correctly pressing a key and a little tutorial, maybe with a mock up battle, to learn the spells. Also I felt that the water spell was doing nothing. Otherwise, great game! Very good job! Very enjoyable fights.

Incredibly polished, loved the artwork and the combat mechanics are very fun! I made the mistake of starting the game right away instead of reading the instructions first lol but after carefuly reading everything it all made sense!

I still found it particularly challenging, but really more of a me problem, great stuff!

The selected assets and music are great. The UI is very nice and polished. I really enjoyed the combat mechanics, and it was fun to try to memorize all the spells. However, because I was so focused on the casting indicator at the top of the screen, I wasn’t able to appreciate the animations and didn’t have enough time to check my health regularly, leading to some surprising wins and losses. The first level was quite difficult, but the following levels felt a little too easy as I had more powerful spells. Overall, I had fun, and it was a very enjoyable experience.
