The mage cat animations on the side are very cool. They give it a sense of eerieness like they are more powerful than us. Good idea about adding the keyboard controls on the screen as cues.
While the game looks cool, the amount of information I have to learn at first to play it feels a little overwhelming for me. Starting the level easy and incrementally making it harder would be a nice idea if you’re thinking of doing a future update. Having some more text / icon or sound cues when interacting with things would also be nice because with all the icons sometimes I’m not fully sure if I’m doing the right thing. I’m also not sure if there’s an end of the level or if just keeps playing, as I don’t really see health bars and I’m not sure, when the cats disappear, if it was me who defeated them, or they just left.
I’m a bit bad with fast paced games like this, so I might be out of the norm! It looks really good though and I think if it were a bit more incremental and had a little tutorial I might adjust better to it.
