Really interesting gameplay, and good sound implementation. Overall, it has a good game design, I would love to see how you can improve it more and maybe make it a mobile game.
This game's toughhhhh but it was a cool concept! The wind is programmed very well, solid submission!
Thank you so much for playing my game ^^
That was excellent! Although it's a rage game, I really liked how there is more than one chance to correct yourself for mistakes. In jump king --- one wrong jump and you're done. In Windy Magician, if you have a bad angle, you can correct it mid-flight and still make it to the next cloud! There were a few times I felt like the game was trolling me, but for the most part I felt like it was my own error and that gave me motivation to try again and again. I only rage quit when I accidentally clicked outside of the game window and lost control of the game and then got sucked into one of those gusts that pushed me all the way back down through a huge section I just beat :P
Had a great time playing up till that point! The wind physics felt really good and well balanced!
Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm thrilled you enjoyed Windy Magician. It's awesome that you appreciated the forgiveness factor. I wanted to make it challenging, but also allow players to recover from mistakes.
And yes, haha, those gusts can be tricky! Sorry to hear about the accidental rage quit, but glad you had fun overall. It's really rewarding to know the wind physics felt good.
If you decide to give it another go, I'd love to hear how far you get!
Was pretty good until i fell down(lmaoo) 9/10!
Lmaooooo
Really liked the control and movement, but I must say that it's really hard! The art is beautiful and the sound work really fits the game! Congrats!
thank you for playing my game. 🔥
An over all nice intuitive game, had a lot of fun playing! I feel like it could use some animation but other than that, great job!
Thank you for playing my game ❤️
surprisingly charming game! I really like the idea of a wizard using magic to traverse space and it gave me some ideas for future projects so thanks for that!
Thank you for playing my game. Hoping to see your game too
This game was so nice making such a simple game idea this great. Nice :)
thank you for playing my game
Hey. Nice concept, and gameplay, intuitive after a few seconds testing.. I like the wind animation.. that turbulent wind blows hard! Challenging, but fun! I feel visuals could be improved by making a bit of a flapping animation on the bottom of the robe when you are flying, (but this was probably a time thing).. Well done!
Thanks for playing! If you liked the concept, I'll definitely update the flying animations after the game jam.
Gameplay works well and achieved the goal of making me rage :) overall pretty good game^^
thank you so much for playing my game. ❤️
definitely can feel the getting over it vibes lol the art and music is real nice too
Yeh i was inspired by that game. Btw thank you for playing my game
This game has a very amazing mechanic, I loved it!!
Thank you for playing my game !!!
I love the little wind sound effects, and the gameplay is really easy to understand and work with! I had fun with it :). Feedback: I would probably add a bit more animation in the wizard man <3
Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! I'm really glad you enjoyed the wind sound effects and found the gameplay intuitive. Your feedback is greatly appreciated, and I'll definitely consider adding more animation to the wizard after game jam. Thanks again for playing!
Fun game, but there's an exploit if you spam a quick click swipe with the mouse, you're able to gain height at no cost to mana, as you regen mana faster than you spend it this way.
Thank you for playing my game. I was aware of this exploit during final testing, but I decided to leave it in because it doesn't make the game significantly faster than normal play. It also opens up a potential avenue for speedrunning.
I really liked the concept; it's an interest take on the theme. Good work :)
Thank you so much! I'm really glad you liked the concept and found it interesting. I appreciate your feedback and kind words!
When I play the game my screen shakes violently for some reason? Cool idea though
Thanks for playing and for your feedback! I'm sorry to hear you're experiencing a screen shake issue. That's definitely not a design feature. Could you tell me a bit more about when the screen shake occurs? Does it happen consistently, or only at certain times? Any additional details would be helpful in trying to troubleshoot this.
It happens as soon as I start the game, and I couldn't do anything. Had to use the windows build
This is a fun concept! It was very challenging and I did not end up fully completing it, but from what I played it was very engaging. I do feel like the clouds are a bit slippery, but that might just be by design. Good job!
Thank you so much for playing and for your kind words! I'm glad you found it engaging, even though it was challenging. The slippery clouds are definitely intentional—they're part of what makes it a rage game! I appreciate you taking the time to try it out.
the most challenging one so far ive played lol. art style is really amateur which fits.
Thanks for playing, bro! I was really inspired by rage games like Jump King and Getting Over It, so it might be a bit of a challenge.
yeah i can tell, i def got that vibe when i fell all the way down
Nice one, the turbulent winds are placed well thought through to create a challenging game. It took me a few tries.
Thanks for playing my game! I tried yours before and got very frustrated trying to complete all the levels without dying and get the best time
Thanks, yeah I also was struggling with your game a lot XD I will give it a new try later
I really liked the visuals, especially the wind effect looked really nice! Concept was really cool also but the level design made me ANGRY - if you wanted a rage game you did a fantastic job.
Thanks for playing! Yeah, games like Jump King were a big inspiration, so sorry if it got a little rage-inducing.
