Almost made it through the ice caves! It would be nice to progress to the next stage by pressing a key rather than needing the mouse.

Beautiful graphics! I enjoyed it a ton, even though I'm not convinced either fire or earth is worth using, as far as I can tell careful usage of the ice cones were the optimal strategy at all times. Would have loved some elemental weaknesses like the plants to fire (That may exist and just wasn't clearly telegraphed to me)
Super good entry all in all though! I felt bad killing the little lava foxes
I liked the sound effect of those mole things. Watching that mana takes work.
Wow! These graphics look sooooo good! There is a lot of enemy, stage and sound variations, for the short period we had to make these games you did a great job! The skills are very important for the game so that you can use your mana more effectively, only mastering the skills will get you to the end of the game! Besides the user interface, the game is very good!
I had a great time finishing this game. The pixelart graphics are really cool and the gameplay has the base to be great. It would be nice to be able to recover mana between levels. Good work!
I enjoyed the music and the graphics quite a bit! They worked well paired together. The gameplay was a little rough, while everything is occurring on the screen it was a little difficult to see the mana and health bar tucked away in the corner. I really like the premise, just a couple tweaks to the UI and I think you would have a really solid project :) Keep up the good work!! :)
Takes some adjustment to understand the reasons for the mechanics and its confusing that the element opposite of the enemy is not always its bane but is a fun game regardless.
Fun little entry ^^
**Positives :** - The graphics while simple have got some charm to them, they really reminded me of the older computer games of the time - The music was nice and catchy - The gameplay was solid
**Negatives :** - Maybe you should add a lose condition when you run out of mana if ennemies still remain, cause when that happens there's not much you can do since there's no restart
Otherwise it was a nice experience, well done ! :)
Interesting game. I liked the graphics. I liked the music too. And I definitely liked the main character, hehe (see my handle).
Although I'm not normally a big fan of fighting games, the gameplay here was fun. It played a bit like a puzzle. Different spells for different situations, and you need to think carefully about how you use what little magic you have.
This game was fun as a demo concept, but if you wanted to take this idea farther, I think you'd need to have more mechanics... a bit more variety... or just something different. By the time I got to level 4, I started to think it was getting repetitive. It really wasn't too bad though.
Good game! Good job!
love it, feels like something I would've made too! Love the attitude of the game.
I want a achievement for being the best mana waster on earth. <3
Nice gameplay, but I didn't get what to do when mana is over. I just cannot do anything except avoid enemy attacks infinitely, until I decide to suicide. Maybe it is better just finish the game when mana is over?
The music was an interesting choice, completely flipped what I thought the game would be like based on the screenshots. Like another poster above I tended to just use the ice spell for most situations. I liked the variety of enemies on the other hand and I could see there was good effort spent on their attacks.
The theme was well implemented in this game! It was hard to use the limited mana supply optimally, but not impossible. You had to figure out the most effective way to dispatch the different enemies. I liked playing it to the end, though a proper end would've been nice.
Good team effort!
The gameplay is deeper than it look at first. You have to select carefully your spells if you want to go far in the game. Good job !
Very tough but well designed! I really liked the mood created by the game, it's strangely tranquil and calm, which not only makes you wonder about any possible narrative of the game, but also stops you getting frustrated too easily. It also would have been nice to see some animations, especially on the players cape, but overall a really nice game! :grin: Good show!
Nice work on the game! Pretty challenging, but also simple and accessible! :D The graphics are really nice and blend really well with the sounds and soundtrack. I believe, though, that some balancing is needed, since it's kinda hard to escape from some enemies' attacks. More animations would add a lot too, but it's really nice the way it is! :)
Good job there, Good Luck! :)
