Overall a classic yet fun game. The difficulty ramps up quite well. The graphics are good and makes the dark mood stand out. No part of the game seems left out, which is always pleasant to see when the game is made by one person alone. High Score : 19894
Took me 2 levels and clicking everwhere to understand that I had to click on the crystal on the top left :P (Stupid me!) It's a very cool game. The concept is new, at least to me. Would make for a great mobile game, or any other platform as a casual clicker game.
The graphics were really cool and the sound effects went well with the game. The animations were good too. Executed really well. Good luck and congratulations.

After jam, I'm to much "out of Power" to clicking rapidly as I can :D. I don't prefer to mixing graphic style and pixel scale, but overall graphic and animations are nice. The music it's a bit irritable.

The game looks very good, great art. I like the retro soundtrack.
The gameplay is fun at first, but it does get a bit repetitive, and the difficulty curve is steep. I got a highscore of 6834. For me it was left click to shoot, not right click.
@Avon Yes, it's supposed to be left click. Sorry :) The game is easier if you keep clicking the crystal as much as you can and not when you think you need it

At first it was a bit too easy but then it got more challenging when the hooded guys came. I love the art, especially the explosion animation ;)

The graphics are a nice touch, though the energy bar being a smooth rectangle is quite jarring when compared to the nicely pixely artwork that's present everywhere else. Other than that, there isn't much to say since it's such a simple game.
@shinmera yes , i know, actually it was going to have a sprite but it looked weird :( Thanks for playing!
I like the music in the game. It got fairly stressful as more and more things came flying towards the player, but it was fun :) Great job!

I thought this game was going to be a piece of cake when I started playing it but the further I got the more challenging it became :D Nicely done! The only complaint I have is that the pitch of a few of the sound effects was a tad too high, at least in my opinion.

Cool entry, addictive and fun, had me going at it for a while. Good example of how simple doesn't equate simplistic. Graphics are neat and complement the game's overall style (props for evil spirits reminding of a Pokemon Gastly :3). I'd even port it to mobile if I were you, some polishing, maybe making it easier for mobile audience and it'd have shot at becoming a popular clicker imo. Good job!
Really tough, but a really fun mechanic!

Colors and game arts was awesome. But game was simple , you should add more enemy type or power type .

My poor wrist! Nice little entry. I might have picked a different sound effect for clicking, as hearing dinging over and over got a little annoying :P

Neat game! The artwork was fantastic! I didn't really like the idea of you re-filling your power by spamming the mouse button, as it got almost impossible near the end. Music was good but got quite repetitive after a while, good job! :)
Neat looking game.. but I can't play it! It seems you built it in Unity and on Itch you even say this game is for "Windows, Mac, and Linux" but only the Windows build is in the files! Any chance you'll update the release to add in Mac and Linux?

Simple but well executed!

Shooting stuff was immensely satisfying in this, not sure if it was the sound effect, sharp contrast of the bullets or death animations, but it all came together really well. My finger aches.
Graphics looked pretty nice, but the overall gameplay was simple and I really didn't have a good understanding of what was going on. That audio was pretty grating when clicking on the crystal to recharge. I liked the animations on the enemies though.
