Very nice take on the concept. I know the font use is there for flavor, but it is a little hard to read at times.

@snesgaard thanks for the comment :) I do agree with the font being hard to read at times (which is partly why I kept it :P) But if you're on Patch 1.0.1, you should be able to switch to a more readable one by pressing N.

Nice concept! Also checking at the end to see that you actually accelerated the demise of the earth was confronting in a funny way. Also this game works on a ultra wide monitor which I never expected from a jam game :P

Great entry! was very intense and the music fit it perfectly.

Good job creating this in such a short amount of time!

Cool game! It was a fun take on the theme! I like looking up and seeing the moon falling down lol cool detail. Visuals look good, it plays smoothly and feels good overall. Nice touch of humor too lol Good job.

At first I was a bit confused and tried other stuff before clicking the red lines in the book, I guess the red made me think it was the "wrong" line or something like that

After that, I managed to "survive" for a while and got to interact with the potions, which made me want to interact with them a lot more :)

Good job!

Amazing and fun :D the first time was really confusing, UNTIL I looked up, and saw the F#$@ng moon approaching at an alarming rate. The funny messaages at the end is great, the weird potions and the frantic gameplay is a great mix :D

Very fun game but repeats itself after a certain point

Love the 3d environment and graphics! Felt a little bit like myst at one point (:

A surprisingly fun entry! It was cool developing a little strategy for how to perform the spells most efficiently, and having the potion actually change the gameplay a little bit was unexpected but really well made. They all mess you up just enough to potentially be deadly the first time, but once you get used to them and get better at the game, you can hold your own for quite a while. The graphic of the meteor coming down is also a really cool touch, even though staring at it is just counting seconds down to your death. All in all, a solid little game.

Yoo I love the audio and the environment is great - the wingdings spells are a really fun touch too :')

Made it 7:40. I liked looking around the little wizard room you made, unfortunately once I realized what was happening there wasn't much time for that. Gameplay was good, but a little simple, perhaps some additional complications/tasks besides clicking spells would have made it more interesting. Had a very tense feeling especially towards the end.

@boxedmeatrevolution Thanks for the comment :) I did have extra complications in mind for the game, such as a goblin stealing your spellbook or a candle setting the book aflame and needing to extinguish it, but unfortunately I couldn't get them implemented in time.
