  • Great music, nice color palette. It's really fun! The gameplay is addictive, kept dying and wanting to keep trying over and over. Being able to hold the attack button would be nice.

Snappy and simple gameplay. But it it's not boring or underbaked ! A

You rock!

Developer

Thank you!

Submitted

Simple and effective. I really like the uncovering-map mechanic. 

Pros:

Easy to grasp, player feedback, well-balanced inputs (main, alt, dash)

Cons:

hitboxes and movement is a tad sharp

Developer

Thanks for the feedback! I appreciate you taking the time to play the game

A nice little boss battle with some banging music to get you in the mood. The ramp in difficulty caused a couple of deaths, but nothing I couldn't manage after a few tries. Super fun man!


Developer

Thanks for playing! I'm glad you liked it

Love it :)

Developer

Thank you!

I left a rating a few days ago, but apparently those are disabled now, so I'll leave a comment!

this game is super fun!! it picks up in difficulty fast and makes you feel the pressure, but not in a way that feels unfair. the burst attack is my best friend and my savior; actually, it might be helpful to have the player's sprite flash or something when its cooldown is over, because usually I'm too busy trying to desperately navigate my character to glance up at the corner of the screen.

Developer(+1)

Thank you for the feedback! I like your idea of having the player sprite flash when the cooldown is done, I'll likely implement it once the game jam is done. I'm glad you enjoyed the game!!!

What a treat!! This is a fantastic concept that I would absolutely purchase as a full game! I thought the movement and combat felt fantastic, and the art was out of this world! Only critique is that there are a few spots where you can be completely safe, but thats not really an issue :) Great job!!

Developer

Thank you! I'm planning on adding a couple more boss attacks once the jam is over to get rid of safe spots. Thanks for the feedback!

Submitted

The gameplay is awesome! Controls feel great, music is on point, and the art style is fun and simple, yet still very informative. I would love to fight some more bosses!!

Developer

Thank you so much!!!

When the tutorial told me about how I can shoot away the light I was like "yess, that's some good design"
It's really great since it makes the common strategy of running in circles to avoid the enemies be much harder.
The difficulty is perfect, I won on like the 5th time, learning to make use of the area ability was key. Never used the dash though. Great game!

Developer

I'm really glad you liked it!!! Thanks for playing!

Super fun, very cool!

Thank you!

Really liked this one, shooting to both damage enemies and destroy tiles was a nice multi-purpose mechanic and I also liked the interactive tutorial!

Developer

Thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

Submitted

Neat game!

Developer

Thank you!

I really like the music, the tutorial is well made. Overall a very good game, well done!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Submitted

This was by far my favorite submission! I love the concept, being able to shoot away the light as a shadow mage. And of course boss fights are awesome!

Developer

Thank you so much!!! I'm really glad you liked it <3

This is a tough but fun game.

I love the intractable tutorial you did, that is a very neat way to teach the controls and mechanics.

Good Job!

Developer

I'm glad you liked it!

really fun and cool! enjoyed playing the game

Developer

Thank you!

Solid game, gameplay is pretty fun and difficult. The sounds and music are pretty basic but get the point across. The theme is there with the light and shadow, but the alchemy theme is forced. Just the character being a wizard/alchemist and the "potion" that breaks shields. Also no real introduction to story or flavor elements that has to do with the theme. Overall a pretty great game though, well done.

Developer(+1)

Thanks for the feedback! After the game jam is done I may potentially add some story or gameplay elements to help tie in the theme of alchemy a bit more. I'm glad you enjoyed the game regardless!

Submitted

That sounds great! If you have a chance check out my submission, would love some more feedback if possible. <3

Submitted

Fantastic work! This was a really fun challenge. Took a few goes to get the hang of it but it’s fun and satisfying. Really well polished and the tutorial was a great addition.

I perhaps would have liked some kind of visual or audio indicator for the charge blast cooldown but that’s about it.

Also really loved the music - I sat on the gameover screen to let the music loop.

Developer

Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

As for the cooldown, there is a visual indicator underneath your health bar, but I can understand how it is a bit subtle. I'll look into adding some more obvious visual and auditory clues as to when the blast is avalible.

Submitted

Oops, I missed that. I think maybe just a simple little chime when the cooldown is finished might be cool. Not a biggie.

Submitted

Cool game! Love how it gets harder and harder, nice job dude!

Developer

Thank you so much!

Cool game. There are a few cheese spots, but it is fun nonetheless.
Developer(+1)

Thanks for playing! I'll probably add some more boss attacks to get rid of those cheese spots once the jam is done. Glad you had fun nonetheless!

Cool boss game but the game keeps freezing every so often which is a bit annoying when something is about to happen and I can't move.

Developer (1 edit)

Thanks for the feedback!

I updated the game so the particles now load when the game starts, so that should hopefully help with any lag from shooting. Let me know if lag continues to be an issue!

No more lag bro great work !
