Mana Manager by bebop

[raw]

made by bebop for LD 39 (COMPO)

Embody a wizard trying to get rid of monsters.

Use your spells wisely as your mana regenerates very slowly!

Find the correct spell combination and timing to destroy your ennemies.

If you manage to clear the 5 stages, the "hard mode" will be unlocked, prepare to die ;)

Nice game. Actually kept me playing for a while. I think it needs a counter spell for when the birds get really close. Nice crunchy sound effects and graphics.

Thanks :) actually the green shield is a "thorn" shield that reflect the damages back to the attacker, it's the best way to kill the bats ;)

Very fun game! I loved the rain spell, very satisfying, it made me wish I could have unlimited power and spam the world.

I really like the sweatbead the mage gets when you're out of mana :D
Perfectly encapsulates that "oh shit" - moment.

I enjoyed the game, congrats to have made it alone in one week-end !
I hope you'll continue working on it, adding powers and levels.

Something that should be changed is that big ennemies aren't actually stronger than little ones, and can be killed with one-shot. As they're more visible for the player and more impressive, they be the number 1 enemy that the player wants to kill.

Its so cool :D I like the Pixelart and the mana management. I beat the game and it is pretty addicting :) I have to say that the Rain spell is cool, but not really necessary to beat it ...

Great game! It's quite original. I like the way you applied the theme to your game.

It would be nice to now how much the spells cost or how long until they recharge. Like separated energy bars for each one.

I like the diversity of enemies as well.

Really well done! Congratulations

Neat idea, the only thing I didn't like was how the main character looks.
