The main character felt good to control, and I liked the special abilities. I felt like the enemies were not very fun to fight though. I found myself often running in circles to group enemies into an area and then spamming specials to clear them out. If the fight was in a smaller arena, and if the enemies were less numerous but each individual enemy was more powerful, I think this game could be really good.\n","likes":5,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"MrsTari","author_uid":"1137669","time":"2019-05-01T01:24:54Z","epoch":1556673894,"modified":1556673894,"text":"i love it :heart: pixel art aswell. :laughing: ","likes":3,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Jayometric","author_uid":"1143777","time":"2019-05-01T04:08:25Z","epoch":1556683705,"modified":1556683705,"text":"Well put together!

It took all of us in the team a lot of effort to put it out, so we're glad that you like it!\n\nAs most people pointed out, our team was huge! We are a group of passionate people, and we do it mostly to learn and improve as devs. Lots of people on the team were newcomers making their first actual game, me included. Coordinating wasn't easy, we were overwriting each other's code all the time and communication was rough. Most of the issues pointed out were caused by cutting content that we didn't had time to implement, such as bulkier enemies, a better spell UI and the inconsistent art. We tried our best, and it makes me very happy to see that most of you liked it!\n\n@mamoniem She always attacks were the cursor is pointing, and you have to be moving in the direction you want to dash, otherwise she will dash down.

The gameplay is fun and there was some weight to the choice between HP and restoring mana \/ soul since on later waves using skills is super useful. Fighting, dodging, kiting and utilize your skills is really fun and rewarding. I also like how many different enemies there are.\n\nOne thing that could be improved is maybe making projectiles more visible - they kinda blend with the background. And maybe somehow highlighting what skill is currently selected would be nice - at first it was kinda confusing to know what skill am I using and if next click will do the desired effect or not.\n\nGreat entry overall, fun to play and really well made.","likes":6,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"Eduardo Yukio","author_uid":"1100556","time":"2019-05-03T19:52:33Z","epoch":1556913153,"modified":1556913153,"text":"@zeriver You're definitely right about the spells, one person here on the post commented that we should've done a visual aid and I think it would've fixed the issue you noticed too. \n\nWe thought deeply about the tutorial, I'm really, very happy that you liked it!
