Well done game !! I had fun :) The 2 problems in my opinion are : - The pixel art make my eyes hurt a little bit after like 10 min playing - The enemies knifes (throwing one) are to hard to see

The rest is nice, music is good tho :)

I really enjoyed the gameplay. I thought it was very fun and challenging, and I loved the idea of a "mobile-area-defense". However, I thought that the graphics would have been great without the pixelation, which seemed unnecessary. As well, the knife projectiles were difficult to see some times

Overall, really fun and super well made and polished!

The aesthetics of this game are gorgeous. The cute little skeleton, the massive castle and the spooky music, all super cool. However, when it comes to gameplay I don't really understand what's going on or what I'm supposed to do. There are coloured stars all over the place, but they don't seem to do anything, and the safe zone flies all over the place. Some sort of descriptive text or instant feedback could maybe have helped. Really cool game nonetheless!

What a fine game! Really enjoyed the playthrough even though after 5mins on the second level i decided to end myself because it got a bit too repetitive, but that's okay. It's the longest game I've played so far and enjoyed all of it. Really liked the main skeleton character!

dude the design on this is spot on! even without a proper tutorial I was able to figure out how to play on my first try. I'm still not sure what the green gems do, also on like my 3rd 'loop' the game stopped spawning enemies for 1 min or so. And not for nothing, but check out this score!

I really loved this game! The atmosphere created by the audio and the character designs were all perfect. Great job!

I like that the leaderboards seemed to be per level! If you do a post jam build, a level selector and a few extra spells might be nice.

Nice take on the theme. I like the follow-the-magic mechanic

javasaurus 2022-04-07 19:51

Very nice spin on the theme ! Enjoyed it, it looks amazing and the camera/shader combination is on poin. Really enjoyable ! Minecraft Dungeon vibes right there. SOLID entry, thank you so much for sumbitting this ! :)

kaldrin 2022-04-07 21:19

22:35 ! Enemy variety and 2 different maps, with nice animations, projectiles, different powerup things to pick up, impressive entry for a jam!

The difficulty doesn't increase though so it's easy to have big scores thus it becomes a little boring unknown.png

Chasing the annoying ring of light turned out to be pretty interesting base gameplay, and you got some clever level design that interacted with it in interesting ways. Nice work.

The man mechanic was good at keeping me moving, because if I didn't, then it's game over. What the pickups do isn't quite obvious enough. I couldn't work out what the stars did, and I assume the purple pickup is a shield of some sort, but I don't know how long it lasts.

I did see a few different levels, which made replaying it more interesting. Good work overall, I like the idea and you executed it pretty well.

Nice art and style! Especially nice to play a game from teacher)
