This was really enjoyable! I ended up playing quite a few games trying to get further. The game looks and sounds great too, loved the layered music. Great job!
Great job on the polish! Plays and feels great!
This is my favorite game from the jam so far. It's just so well made and feels great to play.

Amazing game!! Mad impressive for a compo. The level of polish and juice is just so awesome. Really love the animation and all the little details like flash frames, debris, camera shake, and slow mo death... So many interesting balance tradeoffs as well like having slower movement while shooting. A lot of game jam games feel short and sweet, but this one really hooks you in and makes you wanna keep trying over and over. GREAT WORK!!!
Easily my favorite game so far. It's crazy how it's a compo game, it would be very impressive even for a jam game. Good job!
Incredible job, I had a lot of fun playing this! The music is also amazing
Awesome game but a bit too punishing for me, but I guess I'm not a true roguelike fan anyway :smile: Personally I had to go lots of times for a health increase upgrade just to stay alive and when I accidentally fell off, losing all 5+ healths was a bit sad. :sweat_smile:
Though it's really addictive because you can instantly feel that you getting better and better after each run. As I'm typing this I can feel the urge to boot it up again. :smile: Nice entry, cheers!
I really had a lot of fun trying to get as far as I could and it reminded me of playing the binding of isaac

Love the overall setup here. Sort of a twist on a pokemon battle. ( Though I guess this is more of a twist on an smt game )
The presentation as a whole is cool, let it be visual or audio-wise
Combat is cool as well. Love how your wizard also shoots. The enemy wizard's attacks were also telegraphed really well. The arenas are also well designed since you have to take into account which paths will get blocked somewhat since your wizard has to shoot as well.
The only thing I'm not too keen on is that falling off the arena feels a little punishing and should take away 1 hp rather than 2. It's pretty much the only reason I died whenever I did. Though this is probably just a skill issue lol
But either way, great work on this
That a great game (I saw videos), but it's really upsetting what I can't play it cause of MacOS:(
Very addictive gameplay

You are really great! The game turned out great!
Lovely little infinite bullet hell! Just fun to play. The number of spawns from the enemy get overwhelming pretty fast, my best was 12. The different upgrades feel really well balanced against each other, range and health feel way more useful than they usually do in a game like this.
Super impressive! Graphics are top-notch, it controls very well (although I had to switch from AZERTY to QWERTY to be able to use WASD decently ^^) and there is a lot of juice which makes it incredibly polished.
I am very, very impressed, congrats! My only gripe is how falling strips you of two whole health points, which seems a little overkill. Otherwise, I have nothing to complain about, this is very very good.
It was definitely fun to play. Everything was comfortable, pleasant and beautiful. It's difficult to say anything else.
