The art style of the game reminds me of CubeWorld. Very beautiful and original.

Pretty cool art style! Love what you did with it

Voxel models are such a cool aesthetic

And what a battle it was, Loved the artstyle and the voice acting! Bravo :sparkles:

Cool art and audio effects ! It was fun to play, maybe a second sort of creature could have been a nice addition !

Visually interesting game. Voxels are unusual. (Sinking my moist desires for Cube World). But I had technical problems with Unreal Engine 5. So I give it a 4 for visuals in advance.

Very cool voxel graphics! Also I liked animations like wind applied to the hat, nice little detail.

I enjoyed voice acting very much! Was surprised when I heard it. VAs did a great job! Thanks for the game.

About the gameplay: thats a pity that I couldn't throw skeletons from the platform :( I wish there were no invisible walls...

Making 3d games look good in a game jam is near impossible, but somehow you managed! I really love the voxels with the fancy shaders, there's a fine line between looking good (kind of like Minecraft with cool shaders) and looking cheap.

There was a lot of really cool mechanics going on, as I was playing I actually found myself wanting to play this against other people. I could really see this being a great.

I liked the fact that you had to balance swapping into skeletons and back to the wizard for safety. Oh and my absolute favourite was blasting the enemy wizard into a group of my own skeletons and watch as they juggle him in the air.

Finally, audio is phenomenal, specially the superb voice acting, it gives the game so much personality.

To sum it up, I had a blast, but literally and metaphorically :smile:

PS, tried to go for flawless victory, I got close: victory.jpg

Wow, your Game Looks awesome! Im at work Right now but I will play and rate later! Thank you so much again for your valuable Feedback for our Game. You Rock!

@meru Thank you! And you're most welcome. The LD is all in the spirit of fun and kind, constructive feedback, so I try to give it where I don't see it. You'll kind of see examples here of what I was talking about on your game! I'd really liked to have had more than just skeletons to use, but instead we focussed on making the skeletons have a lot of feedback to feel nice to use!

Awesome entry. Kinda hectic but in a good way. Love the little skellingtons. :)

daniel-c 2024-04-19 18:11

It was really fun game, love the graphics and audio was great :) 10/10 would play again

nishikku 2024-04-19 19:57

This one surprised me! Loved that you could also play the skeletons & the spells are amazing :sparkles: A really cool entry for the LD55 <3

Let me know if you manage to have a lower quality setting for UE FPS

I really love the entire vibe of this project. The animations, the lighting and the models all come together to create a cozy vibe. I really enjoyed playing it and felt like it was appropriately balanced. Good idea to make the wizard itself not too powerful and really nudge the player to interact with the special mechanics of this game. A very good entry, well done!
