I really liked how the camera tracked your aiming instead of just following the character, that's just a little subtle control thing that adds quality imo. The game did seem to crash the first time I ran it, and when I returned to the menu from the level clear screen. Not sure if that has something to do with my computer, though

Nice work!

Works on Linux with Wine.

Good to see C++ developers :grinning:

It's a fun game. Imo, the level progression could be a bit faster. I got bored doing the same map three times, although the new powerups did make it more interesting. Other than that, it's a fun game that works well.

Crashes everytime. I have to restart the game to play the next level.

Simple game. With basic mechanics. Good first game.

Having the same problem as Wabble where the game crashes after each level (Windows 7). Fortunately, unlocks are saved.

Your aiming system gave me a bit of motion sickness. I feel like the targeting should be confined. Also, there wasn't really any reason to move as the baddies just headed straight for the orb. Is it possible to switch back to a previous weapon? Not a big fan of the Beam.

** First Impression **: Nice a game with magic :D

** Sound **: I really like your sound effects they were fitting for the spells you made :)

** Graphics **: Generally good :), but i would have like the background area/walls to be more in an fantasy setting than just an normal level :)

** Gameplay **: Nice concept of a base defense game, i really like that you even managed to create multiple spells :) It would have been nice tho to get an short tutorial initially (even tho it was quickly clear what i can and cannot do :D) One other thing it would have been great to see how much health your orb has left :)

** Overall **: Good job for what you managed to finish in the short timeframe :)

@loktor Thanks for the review! The HP is in the top left corner

I really didn't like how the camera would basically fly around when you moved the mouse. Controls didn't feel that good and the unlocks didn't make sense. The graphics were extremely minimalist, I feel llike that is the most important thing to fix at this point.

simple and fairly fun, i dont know why i love this kind of graphics haha

I haven't given this a rating because unfortunately it crashed on returning to the main menu, then wouldn't restart after that.

@justashadow oh i initially thought that this has to do with my players power (in hinsight i don't know why^^)

The crashed ALOT, but since it saved your progress and restarted so quickly it wasn't so bad. Graphics could have been better, but I really liked the sounds you used. Oh, and meteor was definitely my favorite spell.

To everyone complaining about the crashes, I have no idea what causes it. It's completely random as far as I can tell, and it's not a memory management issue, so just bear with it I guess...

Really cool! Could not figure out how to change weapons. (maybe it isn't possible?)

@mat4dor Thanks! You start with a random spell and you are stuck with it for the round.

Aside from the crashing, this is one of the coolest compos I've played! I liked the Gauntlet style game-play. The comet was the coolest spell. I would have liked a choice of spells, but generally I liked the mechanics of each. The graphics were actually pretty good for programmer art in a pinch. All in all it was an enjoyable experience! Great work!

funny game and you made this in sfml c++. Nice one.
