Magical Resonance by tjakka5


Step into the shoes of Ra'Oul. A rookie spellcaster tasked with protecting the Runic Forest
- Move around using the Arrow buttons.
- Progress dialogue with the Space bar.
- Cast spells with [1 - 5].
For this Ludum Dare I decided to remake one of my previous Ludum Dare entires: The Runic Forest.
I redid all the assets and programmed the entire game from the ground up in Unity. Additionally, I added a boss fight which I think turned out REALLY well.
As for audio I had to reuse some things ( The main music tracks as well as some SFX ). For this reason I am opting out of voting for that.

Nonetheless, this game is really engaging. You keep wanting to play "just one more time". It would've been nice if you could restart the level without restarting the whole game, though. The graphics are superb and I love the music! Well done!
I enjoyed the variety of spells! I think you did a good job of making them have very different uses.
However, by the end, I felt like I had to spam a lot of attacks to win. I wonder if you can make enemies less spongy?
30 minutes later: "Let me kill them for more 2 minutes, damn that particles feel so good!".
Two more things, usually people don't read things, but that narration grabbed my attention and well... I read it.
The last is the controls, maybe it has not a good idea, but it don't stopped me from enjoying the game.
- The way the screen tilts/rotates instead of standard screen-shake felt really nice, and it was tuned perfectly.
- There are so many cool spells, and they each have their own place when they are effective. You can't just spam 1 button and expect to do well.
- The particle effects are just top tier.
- It's so nice with voice acting, really makes a game stand out in my eyes (or uhm... I guess ears).
- Hands down one of the best bosses I have encountered in a Ludum Dare game, the boss had so many cool abilities.
- Really impressive art that is coherent and suites the game perfectly.
- Great to find a game with a story behind it.
Overall a masterpiece, thank you for making it! :smiley:
