A very difficult game) Beautiful graphics and music)
@bassilij Definitely turned out difficult, but that is also the reason we added a timer and a leaderboard. So that the competitive people like ourselves can compete for the best place!
Incredibly hard game, got the clear time in 8:10...
Great art particularly the backgrounds, I don't really like the idea of a timed lifetime, many feel bad moments caused by trying to figure out what to do and running out of time, maybe that could have been alleviated if the progression through each room was telegraphed with maybe arrows or brighter platforms to contrast with the background?
I also wish the hazards contrasted more, they can be easy to miss...
Overall, solid platforming, impressed by the wall jumping mechanic and the background art was really nice, wish I had time to appreciate it for longer.
Your game is very well made! It looks great and feels good to play. I feel that you run out of life a bit too quickly, maybe that could be a bit more lenient at the start. I really enjoyed playing it!
@3mpty Hey, thanks for the feedback! I agree, the timed lifetime can be a frustrating mechanic, we intended more things around it but were out of time sadly. The game definitely is more appealing to players who are more into speedrunnable games.
Thanks for your feedback, really appreciate it!
Looks beautiful and sounds nice as well. The difficulty was a bit too much for me so I gave up at the place the 3rd screenshot was taken. I felt like the character moved too fast, but it might not bother others. I don't play platformers that much. One thing that I would have liked is to have different animation depending on whether you hit a plant or ran out of time so you know which killed you. Lastly, I liked playing it, even if I felt frustrated with the part I got stuck at.
Excellent visual performance, but very difficult to control the character. I wish I could move a little slower. And the music is not loud at all, thanks!
Omg sooooo cool atmosphere! Awesome graphic) Aesthetic bomb) i really have fun to play this game! Thank you?
Very pretty game, there's a lot of content for something made in such a short time! It was fun to play through as well! If there was any one thing I'd say to work on for a post-jam version, I'd tweak the movement, jump, and dash speeds as well as gravity a bit until they feel nicer to control.
Yep, It's difficult game ^^ hardcore! ^^ Interesting gameplay and cute graphics
While the concept isn't unique, it fits the theme perfectly, and executed great. Great game, well done and polished! Music and visuals are great, everything looks very nice, and main character design is cute. Lignting effects and particles are a nice touch.
Not a bad platformer. Interesting idea. I really liked the animation and design of the main character. But it seems to me it is worth reducing the calysis in the killing plants. Some save points are set so that they cannot be avoided because of the plants. And it also seems to me that it is worth adding at least 3 lives to the character.
Current Wild Magic speedrun world record holder speaking (0:46.149). It's an ok game. collisions are extremely janky and there are weird invisible walls everywhere. The art and music are nice. I like the difficulty and fast respawn times. really fun game to speedrun. Also the scoreboard doesn't work correctly. I (shittypiss) got a time of 0:46.149 although it says that I got 1:33.858 and that Argo got my time. Other than thats its pretty deece.

Didn’t got far but like your style expecialy the background.
really nice Art style.
Uff. Last second rating. Good job with the art style. Also, the music is nice. The game is hard, but after I read the comments, I understand that that was the idea. Cool game.
This is probably the most atmospheric entry I've played, which really speaks to the music; it actually feels a little eerie with no sound effects, though I would've liked it if there were any.
I seriously love how this game plays; I'm a platformer buff, so a game like that where you can wall jump and dash around levels is great. The dash maneuver goes pretty far, however. I tended to underestimate how much distance it covered, and I imagine that added to my playtime quite a bit.
The graphics in this game are wonderful! I like how well animated the elven girl is, including all those symbols that explode out upon death, or coalesce into the obelisks. I'd imagine those symbols represent the untamed magic that you accumulate. The environment is also lush and mushroomy and just ethereal.
And yeah, it sure is a pretty difficult game, but I was able to complete it in 8:13:863!

Supreme job! all of you!!
Wild magic is a concept in fantasy and role-playing games that involves the unpredictable and chaotic use of magic.
