The art is fantastic, and the general game feel is really nice. The music is spot on and really funny as well! \n\nI agree with most others here about the mana. In the original version I ran out of mana quickly, and then ran around trying to find more without luck and eventually dying. In the new version on the other hand there were plenty of mana, and the cap was just a slight annoyance. I think having limited mana doesn\u2019t really contribute a lot and just having it unlimited would have been better. Alternatively, it could be rarer, but you\u2019d give the player a weaker non-mana using attack as well. This way you\u2019d have to choose in when to use the mana.  \n\nI\u2019d also love to see more variety of enemies as the two types there are now are basically doing the same thing and it gets a bit boring after a while. \n\nOverall it\u2019s a really solid entry!
