It's pretty fun! Took a little getting used to what's going on and how to play the game, but learning it all was rewarding, especially since I died pretty easily and frequently in the beginning. xD

Increasing the size of the magic projectiles or its particle trail would be a nice addition - just so that they're easier to see. 

Overall, awesome job! Your engine works really well! :)

Developer

Thanks! Good point, it can be really hard to see the projectiles. Really nice to hear that the engine works.

Neat little game, would be nice to have some more animation on walking maybe an animation when you alert the guards as well.

Developer(+1)

Thanks! Yeah, animations would definitely make it better overall. However I could not figure out a way to animate without adding new sprites. Good idea with the alert.

Took me a while to get into, because I was treating it like a typical top-down shooter when it's a bit more methodical and strategic than that. Once I got into a play style I liked, that seemed to work, I had a good time with it! GG indeed. 

Developer

Thanks! My intention was also to challenge the player a bit. GG
