Thanks for leaving a comment. I am glad you had fun with the game!
I can see what you mean about spikes. The main idea was having an ability to create a platform largely wherever you wanted, but in the end I also wanted another attack that would be an aoe and it turned into this. Definitely could be improved in the future. With the landmarks and spike sprite and parallax, I agree. There should be some more variety and one that lets you find yourself in the level better, but I just didn't have time or ability to make it, as it was really the first time I was making pixel art. Also with health and mana, you should be able to get a max of 8 hp and 7 mana, so you were quite close :d Thanks again for checking it out!
