Interesting concept with good theming, but overall it seems just a bit too random. Perhaps introducing different kinds of wizards that move in specific ways, and informing the player about their movement and attack styles, could lend more logical game attributes to this game.
Good entry nonetheless!
Overall, a fun and simple game that's well-themed. It's very straightforward, but winning definitely gives you a little rush of dopamine. It's lacking in sound design and UX, but that's understandable for a jam game. The AI is impressive. With some graphic and UX polish, I could see this game being suitable for mobile.
Fun gameplay, great that you dida add save mechanic without it it would be impossible for me ;P
Very fun game! Nice graphics and interesting combat—one missing feature is a time tracker. With it, I think this could be a cool speedrun-type game to min-max movement and routes!
One thing I'm not sure about: was it intentional or a bug? But in the end, I had like 600+ green summons.

Great graphics! It's an interesting combination of a logic game and Super Monkey Ball (sometimes it's a little annoying that the ball keeps moving when changing characters :P), but overall, it's a pretty fun game. In my opinion, the dash ability isn't very enjoyable. While it's cool to have some additional power, I think the game would be better without it (I couldn't pass level 6).
One small suggestion for the future: remember to try to loop the music so that you avoid the 'stop/start' effect.
Simple gameplay, but well-executed theming and great artwork.. Zrzut ekranu 2024-04-15 122300.png
Great first entry! Super cool art and good audio design. The gameplay is pretty simple but includes some variations. It would be cool if there were some explanations about what each circle does, but after a couple of deaths, you can figure it out. Overall, good job! ;)
Horror-like vibes, slightly lacking in sound design—I'm sure that was intentional, but adding sounds for footsteps and wall openings would be a good addition. A couple of bugs noted: when picking up the blue candle, it doesn't show as blue, and you can place candles in walls, which blocks the light.
Overall, great theming.
Great entry!
Simple demo, maybe if you added some additional random showing targets to shoot/click (like target that slows down balls for second or two) i could be fun game, overall good job
Great intro, great art but confusing gameplay
I don't know if that web export problems but there are a lot of bug with visuals (swimming up was my favourite bug ;p) overall if given more polish could be nice small game, nice graphics
Very nice game
Great art! Simple but very nice to look at
@nyxkn in settings you can remap keys ;) but thanks for rating
I think you didn't publish the itch.io project it's showing 404
Consider publishing it on itch.io web player on ldjam seems to have some problems
Great visuals, challenging platformer good entry ;)
Simple game and good use of theme, bit rough around the edges but game loop is good.
Each time you restart sound of drill is added xd need to have disable sound button
Overall good base for game with shop upgrades
Fun, playing it takes me back when i was child and played quake 3 arena a bit ;p
Pretty nice overall but i think you forgot to mention that c is down and space is up ;P
simple game, nice use of theme
Very nice game, captivating loop of buy upgrades see whats is deeper, godjob!
Crashes out my browser when tried to run on itch
Interesting demo but needs a lot of polish
I think you forgot to publish itch page and running it on ldjam page seems to dont work
Web runner here on ldjam seems to dont work -> maybe upload on itch?
Nice simple gameZrzut ekranu 2025-04-07 090708.png
Fun game, nice game loop the urge to see what fun fish you added to next level is strong ;p
Very interesting game.. nice smooth falling animation, it's simple game and concept but sound design and "noodles" make me anxious when playing xd
Amazing art! Interesting mechanics - but it takes awhile to learn controls, if polished enough i can see it on published on steam. Great job!
Failed to read the 'serviceWorker' on embedded see guide -> https://ludumdare.com/resources/guides/embedding/
edit. Cool you manage to fix it, nice demo ;)
Sorry to nitpick but this should not be COMPO entry - you need to create art yourself in 48h to enter, also ldjam web player doesn't seems to work consider uplad on itch
