Like the song, noticed a bug though. It seems that if you pick up an item while its flashing, about to disappear, and the item is invisible when you pick it up, the item stays invisible when it is thrown. Other than that, the game could really use like a score system or an end screen or something. It just ends and resets itself with no warning other than the timer at the bottom of the screen.
I really liked this game! I think there's a lot of potential to take it interesting places. The attention to detail in the graphics was absolutely incredible and the song was great!
I found it a bit unclear what I'm supposed to do with the rock and the tear. I also found it quite tough to throw accurately. I'd be interested in seeing a follow-up to this because I think there's a ton of potential!
Love the visuals and music! I think I agree that overall the game could use a little more player direction, but I think that would mainly just be solved with a more fleshed out UI (and this is a game jam so that is easier said than done!). Overall I love the concept and I think this is a great foundation, good job!
Insane visuals, and I love the little details like if you hit the sorcerer in the eye he cries a little bit. I played it for ~10 minutes and the difficulty doesn't seem to scale, so that would be a nice feature to make it more challenging. Overall really good!
Really like the visuals! Music works well too. Agree that there should be more direction on how to play but still had fun. Great submission!
The animations are great! The game really lacks of sound design but the main idea is fun, well done!
Wow, I really didn't expect such positive comments, thank you all so much! There is a lot I didn't have time to implement due to me failing horribly at time management, but I'm really glad I still made something that people like!
I really like the music, and the visual style is really good. I overall liked the gameplay, but it's really difficult to hit the pot. Overall is this a really good compo game. Well done.
The graphics are fantastic, as others have already said. The eye tracking on the wizard, the animations on the player and the worms, it all just works. The music is good on its own, though I'm not sure if it fits the game perfectly. Some sound effects would enhance this game a lot. I'm not sure what the player character is supposed to be. He looks a little bit... rude, let's say.
I understand that the time limit got you, but I'll still share my experience of playing the game. I actually didn't have too much of a problem figuring out what to do. My issue was that once I did, I found it extremely easy. I could have easily carried on forever. So, in short, what this game needs most is some sort of difficulty scaling, and a metric of success, like a score or an ending.
I hope this game gets to 20 ratings, because if it does, you're definitely looking at a high placement in graphics.
Really nice feeling for the throwing mechanic, pleasent music and nice looking graphics. Congrats!
I love the character designs and animation in this. The gameplay is quite fun as well. However the music doesn't really fit the atmosphere in my opinion. Overall, solid game! Good job on this one.
Great game! I really love the throwing mechanics. The changing arrow indicator is a great way to change your shot if you pressed longer than intended.
Great animation and gameplay - it just needs a bit more balancing to make sure that the inevitable is actually inevitable :P
Very pretty and fun game with nice music. I don't like the power going back down when you keep pressing the mouse button, I would prefer it grow a bit slower and stop at full power, like in Worms.
nice work! i like mechanic
Very different. Charming artwork.
That music track and the animations, the wizard watching you and even hitting him for tears, were all really awesome and you can see the direction that this was headed. Great job!
The concept is straightforward for quite novel, so it works great for a LD submission. Love the artwork as well.
As others have said, both the graphics and the music are top notch. The walking animation on the main character, and the wizard's eyes following the items are brilliant! I only managed to get things in the cauldron by firing from directly beneath though, it might be too easy from down there
Funny concept, the graphics style is pretty awesome. It's amazing what you've done in the given time.
Neat game! The concept is great, unfortunate you couldn't implement the tasting part. I like how the wizard follows the projectiles, and the eye interaction altogether actually. If something, I wish you had more power in the shot when charged.
Good job!
