Tiny Wizard by kebabskal
Tiny wizard on tiny planet builds massive tower.
Compensating for something? ;)
Anyway, something is not right at the tower...
Made 95% by me (Hannes Rahm) but with some help from Alfred Olsson.
Could have made it as a compo entry, but life got in the way :)
Made with flashdevelop, photoshop & bfxr.
Hope you like it!
Hugs!

Since this is a flash game hosted on kongregate, you should rename your entry to "Web". Some people won't even try your game if it is flagged as "Windows" (since they don't want to download anything)
Really neat style!
PapyGaragos: Some people also won't try because they don't run Windows.
Great job!
I am aware of the "enemy stuck in wall problem". I'm trying to make a real fix for it.
(Might have figured it out while writing this comment actually ;))
In the meanwhile, enemies auto-die after 30s.
You can also usually kill them with bombs.

This is a neat game, i love the graphics!
I like the style, concept and genre
well done
Good use of the theme. I love the tiny wizard / tiny word / giant friggin huge tower!
The graphics and the sound and gameplay all compliment each other very well. I'd say the whole experience is very well balanced and nothing distracts from anything else.
The gameplay was very good, responsive, challenging, and rewarding.
I wasn't a fan of hitting tab to change hats given the distance that is from spacebar.
Excellent game!
Simple fun, Great graphics, easy to control and pick up!
Good job!
I wish there were a small window of invincibility for you after you've been hit like in many other such games. The current setup makes it easy for an enemy to corner you and tear away your health in an instant.
The uberspells were a nice touch, but the tab button to change hats in the middle of a tense fight is always tough for me to reach when I'm already using WASD for my motion controls.
Another nice touch would have been a target reticle that follows / replaces your mouse pointer.
Great entry!
One thing that keeps bothering me is the loud video ad that kongregate plays every time I want to play a LD game for a few minutes. It's not your fault so I'm not taking points off or anything, but it's getting annoying enough that I might stop playing games hosted on kongregate. I'm not sure if there's a way for you to disable that or not, but it's just a general gripe.
The combat was enjoyable, and the hats and their special abilities were cool.
My only gripe is that there was no real indication of you getting hurt, ie no sound and no visual.
Graphics/sound/gameplay are all solid. A sound/visual for when enemies die would add even more joyful catharsis, but I think you already have a hit on your hands. ;)
I liked the mechanics and arcade style (gradually getting harder).
The only thing I'd change is the tab button. I think 'E' could be better. You could also add music in the post-compo version.
Good job.
