I must say a great entry for the jam and enjoyable as well! Played through the game a few times, trying out the different spirits while making it up to the final boss each time. So comments in regards to the game:

- The music was great and was enjoyable to listen to while playing! If you guys had more time it would of been great to see a transition during boss fights in order to interrupt the music a bit, instead of it being the constant background stream. However, I do believe the sound effects weren't up to snuff like the music. They didn't have the great of an impact when hitting enemies and it became monotonous quickly.

- The amount of enemies variety and animations in regards to those enemies were fantastic, it provided an excellent pace to the game. It was also enjoyable to see you spawn one new enemy at the start whenever you introduced them so the player can get an idea of what they do without it being overwhelming or possibly providing one of those "wait why did I die moments" that sometimes occurs in games.

- The attack bar system was definitely unique, though could of been made more interesting if you guys had more time. Perhaps a combo esque system where certain attacks in a certain order or pattern while do some extra effect. For example maybe three fires in rapid succession will cause an explosion on the first thing the third projectile contacts, doing area of effect damage.

- Some general button inclusions may have been nice, though maybe I missed these. One to skip the timer during the wait for next round and a pause button.

- As great as the voice was in the beginning, subtitles should be an addition if you get the chance for those with hearing issues.

- Finally, not a complaint/praise of the game, but I did have a few times where the Ooze/Slime Boss would get stuck in the bottom right corner and not do anything else for the rest of the fight.

SUB-ADD 42 by JPierso3 2019-10-09T02:06:30Z ♥ 0

Overall interesting gameplay, though it felt severely lacking in substance. The game plays linearly in difficulty and its relatively easy to avoid numbers you don't want, making it possible to finish quickly. Perhaps some changes in difficulty such as the closer you get to 42 the faster the spawn rate. Not sure entirely. Some sort of background music at minimum would have been appreciated. Thanks for the game!

Puzzles were enjoyable, it brought back memories of doing such things with redstone in Minecraft. There are, as people have mentioned, a bit of jank with the controls. Sometimes things don't want to connect unless you life the gate and place it back down for example. There are occasional bugs with the display on the output too as I mentioned this to you personally, which caused some strife in me trying to figure out gates. Could use some background music.

Otherwise a good logic puzzle game where you have to take a seat and do your best to solve it.

Awesome production! The graphics, animation and general aesthetic was quite pleasing to the eye and the gameplay was enjoyable as is. Was easy to control and provide a few unique play styles with the spells you had access to. Although the gameplay was relatively easy and didn't really feel threatened in any situations. That said, a few different enemies may make all the difference. Perhaps ones with projectiles? Who knows.
