Really simple and really cool, super satisfying game overall. One thing I´d consider is just removing/changing the bones, as they look like blocks you cant go through and quickly fill up the whole area.

Very fun little game! Nice work! Not having control over the attacks feels appropriate for this kind of game, and the passive upgrades feel great. I like those character sprites, too. I did feel like I was cheating by walking off of the edges of the screen to get around enemies, and after I while, I had completely lost track of where my companion had run off to.  I ended up with a total score of 71500, with 51900 of that coming from me.

Nitpicks:

  • The screenshake starts to get pretty dizzying after a couple upgrades
  • Enemies can spawn maybe just a smidge too close to where you're standing

It needs a camera following the player.

Really solid, had a lot of fun. Maybe a border or camera that moved with the player, I accidentally lost myself a couple of times but that may have just been me.

Very simple and straightforward approach to the theme, I admire that. I liked seeing the progression of the spells, I just wish my partner would stay on screen a little more lol.

Simple and fun. Wish there was more upgrades.

AI doean't seem to be smartest attacker but at least it know how to survive. Something even AAA games sometimes fail at :D

I also feel like I'm allowed to walk outside screen way too much. I wonder if there are any bounds.

The companion AI is a bit too afraid of of the enemies, I’d like to update it to be a bit braver; I didn’t want players to lose because of the companion too often lol.

Adding bounds didn’t make it in this time around :)

Getting kills is quite satisfying! Wish it had more depth but hey that's gamejams

Thank you! I would have like to have spent more time on the player and enemy progression to make it feel more satisfying; ah, the woes of game jams.
