Really good game for a game jam game. I almost cannot believe you managed to create this in only 10 days! Some further feedback:
- Really nice graphics and sound track. They fit the game well and help building a great atmosphere for the game.
- Theme was well included in the game. Using the bodies of the killed enemies was clearly necessary for advancing in the game.
- The game genre is not for me but it was still interesting to try it a few times. Even if only to see how polished game you managed to make for a jam.
- The progression of the game was really good. The game felt like becoming more and more challenging the further I got and gaining bigger and bigger army felt rewarding. The tutorial introduced all the abilities clearly one by one so they were easy to understand and learn. Maybe one way to make the on boarding even better would be to disable the spells that are not yet introduced so the player does not start playing with them before they are introduced. I tried using the 5 spell for enemies many times during the beginning and was really confused when it did not do any damage!
- One improvement that I would have like to have in the game is being able to know currently selected spell without looking the bottom of the screen. This could be easily done with different kind of target indicators that would match each spell. This would also help with another problem that I had: it was impossible to know the range / affect area of an spell because they all shared the same target symbol. Spells that target large area could have as big target symbol, so I would know which characters the spell will hit.
- Relating to previous point, Drain Mana attack was super confusing. Its name and the spell target indicator seemed to indicate that I would have to target the spell on someone to steal their mana. It took me long time to realize that I just gain mana each time I cast the spell and I don't have to target anyone.
Overall, this game has a really good production value for a jam game! I could see this being a part of a "real" game.
