This kind of feels like a slower bullet hell, which is nice. I wish there was a separate pool for mana and health points. While I didn't get super far in my few attempts, I was wishing for a special power up or larger mana potion to appear (maybe that happens later?).
Welcome to Ludum Dare with your first entry. Can't wait to see the second. :)

liked the game try make some animations for death and restart or something, include fullscreen, better art (if possible) the started screen menu is (im sorry if it sound rude) "boring" but i like the concept of the game good work.
some bugs: -can get pushed of screen (mby not a bug idk) -(mby only for me but crashing)

Hey, i love the athmosphere, its really trippy and a nice horror mood! Its a fun little challenge to play this, even tho i think its quite hard to survive long keep yourself constantly alive. I think for casual players it might be a bit hard with the mana being so important and mana potions just giving a little amount of mana back. I really like the minimalistic art style and color reduces but i feel like the potions could be a bit more present/ easier to locate :)

I didn't manage to click while moving, the mana run out really fast ! great sounds !
I liked it, too bad there aren't many comments
An interesting bullet hell. It feels completely impossible to get enough mana to actually kill enemies anywhere close to the rate they come out. Dying with time slow active on my first run caused my second run to be bugged to have time slow constantly active without using mana, which actually made the game way more possible to keep up with and was kind of fun!
I like your game, it's definitely not bad for someone starting out in gamedev! I love how you doubled your health as a resource as well, that's clever game design! Looking forward to your following entries!
Not bad at all for a first attempt at making a game solo within tight deadlines. Good job, like your game

Nice work for a first time participant! Nice using mana for health and resources to make you think about resource management.
@okamit Thank you so much!
@ashketchdem sorry for the late response, but school has it's way of getting in your way. thanks though!
Really good horror vibe! I like atmosphere of it, for person, who created game alone and for a first game jam it is really great job 👍👍
@anaastaska thank you for the feed back! I will be back (probably) for the next one!

This is well put together! I'm actually really terrible at it - I tried a few rounds but having to click within the circle as I ran all over the arena ended up being really complex.
This is a really good first jam! Nicely done.
A nice little survivor like game. Would be cool to consider adding controls with the arrows because the WASD was map for QWERTY keyboard. The soundtrack was pretty dark but the graphics were more funny, so it creates a weird mood. Good job overall!
A very solid first time entry! :D The sounds are a tiny bit to loud and for further development I would love to see a bigger circle cause I was way to slow haha xD
