I loved the game! All the music, SFX, and art were great! Cute sprites and nice little animations. It was pleasing to the ears and eyes.
The mechanics were very cool! I love a dive, especially one that mitigates most of your fall damage! And I love having cobwebs to slow a fall and take off that damage (though sometimes it seemed to glitch when paired with the dive and give you fall damage anyways if you landed with a dive on a cobweb). It was fun firing some magic spells at these scarecrow-looking guys, too.
I also love the concept idea, and it was fun to play through, and it was certainly challenging!
I will say that I didn't really feel any discernable differences playing between easy and medium mode, they both sort of felt like medium. As for hard mode, it wasn't hard so much as a NIGHTMARE mode hahaha. Took me forever, but I eventually won it!
I would say when I first began playing, the spikes blended in pretty well, so it was difficult and took some time to recognize them as an obstacle and spot them, but I got there eventually. I would also say landing on some spike placements seems impossible and you just have to accept a loss of health because of the placement of certain platform falls and cobwebs next to them. Random map spawning is fun but makes these sorts of things hard!
It was definitely difficult, particularly on hard mode, deciding when to dive, since when we dive we can't move left or right anymore and have to commit to wherever we might land, whether that's on a nice platform or on top of a spike. The cooldown also felt so long with the time limit!
I would say I would love some indicator on the screen for the magic wand cooldown since there is one for the dive but not the magic wand! It also felt like the cooldown was super long for this.
I will say it was difficult to judge for some of the falls if it would give you fall damage or not, as some seemed too short and that they wouldn't hurt you but did. Even after replaying over 50 times I had difficulty discerning this.
Overall, amazing game! I would play it endlessly. I want to see how many times I can beat hard mode!!!
