This was kind of rough. The graphics, though simple were decent for a game jam. They were clear and served there purpose. No sound. The controls were/are truly horrifying and drain any fun out of the game. Might be different if I could customize them but the key mapping was brutal.

My only other complaint is there is no way I could see to exit the game. I had to force kill it. No mid game menu, that I found. No exit game from the main menu, where you end up at, the game over menu.

I like the concept though and the adherence to the theme. It felt like the start of a cohesive game, prob would be a good basis for a 4 player SSB style party game.

I'm really bad at this! I feel so sorry for the pink ball, that I couldn't do more to protect it...

Nice variety of spells.

Good job, good game, but Its hard to control

Controls are hard. Cool game

this is a lot of fun, hard to control and unclear on what the spells do. The only issue I really had was when I came to quitting the game, there was no option to exit.

@workshopcraft just alt + F4, no progress would be lost except ingame, can I still edit it tho? I think it is a feature, so I think I can't. Edit: you can point your mouse, on the spells to check what it can do, the description is vague tho that's what I made last minute

love boids,

The idea is fun, but the game feels a bit unfinished.

gamurmakesgems 2020-04-20 08:13

@jk5000 Yes, and the other kinds of enemies takes too long to show up, the last one which is pass 12 minute mark. It was supposed to have upgrades so you can last long with added effects in skills and boost.

Cool! Love the variety of spells :) Managed to protect the little pink ball for ever by dropping it into oblivion...

The keymaps where a bit awkward to use, would be nice if there was a way to rebind them.
