It's pretty decent. Art and music are nice for a jam. The game play is a bit simple, and I would prefer keyboard controls over mouse.

The intense time pressure makes the decision points actually a challenge. Cool little game. :3

Took me a bit to figure out what the controls meant, but it makes sense. I thought the symbol in the middle was implying a rock-paper-scissors thing.

I agree with the other posters that the controls felt awkward. Keyboard controls with a different key for each shape would have been a nice addition.

I think my high score was 290. The fast attack is clutch. I think that you attack too slow to make any headway without it.

Nice entry. The graphics are friendly and the music relaxing. Maybe try to make more clear what spell to use on what enemies.

I like the combat but I would have preferred keyboard controls. I think that this would make a fun mobal game.

Hello guys thanks for the feedback. The controls are kind of weird because we really think of it as a game for mobile devices, but really should be considered and put the option to control the keyboard, and More one time thanks for the feedback. : D

Leo, muito bom o gráfico e a música! Dá uma grande sensação de tranquilidade! O controle pode ser mais dinâmico. Senti que tá meio travado. Talvez se vc melhorar a mobilidade do mago, e concentrar o poder. Exemplo, se vem um inimigo triangulo seguido de outro na mesma direção, vc poderia concentrar e atirar matando os dois com uma tacada só. Aí isso formaria um combo e vc ganharia mais pontos por cada inimigo morto dessa forma. Espero te-lo ajudado! Abraço!

Nice graphic design!

I think it was very fun. I liked the idea. True, maybe keyboard controls would be better, but it worked decently :)

Nice job! The graphics of this game is very good, and its very fun too! I wonder if you want to move this game to mobile devices, since its uses mouse only!

redpillgamedev 2016-04-19 12:00

Nice, it's a cool game.....great job!

Muito legal Léo! Gostei da arte do jogo e da temática. Dá para desenrolar os níveis do jogo. Só senti falta de uma explicação dos controles e poderia habilitar para movimentar o mago pelo teclado tb. De resto show!

very nice, the music makes me remeber of Final Fantasy, which is a good thing ^^ . I wish I could change the direction with the arrow keys, but I see that you said that the game was thinked to be played on a mobile device, so I guess it's ok :p #PDJAcademy

As others said. I would prefer a keyboard control instead of the mouse one. Also, the game is a little bit too hard. The number of hits necessary to kill a monster isn't clear, and it seems that when I switch the direction the projectiles disappear or don't cause damage.

Hey, nice entry!

The music was fitting, the art was nice and the mechanics have potential, "One Finger Death Punch"-style.

Oh... I couldn't really last long, and I do believe, as above mentioned, letting the player use the keyboard would be a great improvement since this is all about reflexes.

Aliás, salve do Brasil! Tamo junto :)

Decent game to play. I wish the shape change was done by pressing a key rather than clicking. The reading was a bit off for me as well...when I tried choosing square, I got circle :/ other than that, everything else worked fine.

its fun to melt this concept with form/color switch but.. i didnt manage to switch... :(
