Apocalypse by Manafest
In this game you play as a warlock fighting the forces of good and trying to destroy the world with your ultimate spell. Running out of power can be a challenge as you must use your power to cast spells to kill your foes and defend yourself from killing blows.
This is my first LD entry and I have definitely learnt a lot from it!

though: gosh pretty big difficulty spike in level2 O_O
can you do it? I can't do it! aaaah.
There are some typos in the How to Play section: "destoryed" and "absoped"
The game is hard but fun :)
I really like the skill animations btw :D the lightning is my favorite
**Suggestions and comments on improvement:** Sound effects would be nice.
p.s. check out my game as well please.
I found the gameplay to be pretty innovative, although I feel like the game is a bit frustrating to play because of one single reason: the enemies attacking diagonally.
The way your 'pathfinding' works they will always try to stay at diagonal range and attack immediately once you get into their attack radius. That means that at the beginning, when you're trying to Cone of Flame the guys, you'll often get hit and they keep moving in ways that makes it impossible to use your spell on them. Later this is not much of a problem, but it really turned me off at first, because I like to conserve as much energy as possible. And I was trying to not spam my strongest attacks.
Once you get the other spells the game is quite fun. But I think you should just be able to attack diagonally with that spell as well, to make the beginning better.
I also got a bug where I zapped myself and then stayed like that forever and randomly lost energy all the time. That was weird.
Overall very good entry though. Great job.
Great entry, espesially if this is your first LD!
Liked the different weapons (I think the lightning stroke had the best cost/effect ratio) and how you implemented the end of the game.
