You should definitely continue it after the jam and release it as a bigger game. I wish my memory didn't tell me all the spells I need, it would have been cooler to learn them myself. Also, the jump and move probably didn't need to be spells :D But please, continue this one because I've always wanted to play an old wizard with a bad memory haha :D"},{"author_name":"hexagore","author_uid":"34027","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 1:56pm","epoch":1450187460,"text":"I enjoyed the mechanic of this and the chatty way the spells are uncovered.

But are you supposed to be able to jump more then once? I could just infinitely jump my way through all the levels. Dialog was fun. :)"},{"author_name":"fistmaker","author_uid":"56278","time":"Dec 15, 2015 @ 2:29pm","epoch":1450189440,"text":"Awesome concept! Really like the gameplay!

Maybe a little clunky, but the idea is pretty fun. An annoying thing is the fact that the spells do not act immediately, meaning that control is a little hard. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>The dialog was a little cringey but still fun to read."},{"author_name":"Xeke_Death","author_uid":"19338","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 2:24am","epoch":1450232340,"text":"Great work, loved the 4th wall breaking...\r<br\/>No cooldown and no mana let me double jump, making a lot of the levels easy to bypass..."},{"author_name":"psychonull","author_uid":"31386","time":"Dec 16, 2015 @ 4:02am","epoch":1450238220,"text":"The idea is great as the use of the theme.

I'm not one for reading a lot of prompts though (and I think you relied on them a bit too much considering people are going to be flying through games on LD), but I really enjoyed it overall.
