@jk5000 @shp @yursa @bnmkt @philarmon @slotha @zoneoutapps @giezi Thanks for playing the game and leaving supportive comments!
Anyhow, I enjoyed the game and the way it requiers you to think. Very well done!
@raphnika I was inspired by this one https://alpha.wallhaven.cc/wallpaper/738784 but I'm not really sure where that came from :shrug:
@persegan Thank you!
@tshiif I plan to continue developing it into a full web game and to release it to Kongregate and Newgrounds and maybe some other web portals. We'll see. I'm glad you enjoyed it! :slight_smile:
A few of the highlights of this game are:
- The main mechanic, just so elegant and innovative.
- The graphics, nice and coherent. Just feels well polished.
- The level design, not to be underestimated! You designed your levels really well!
Great job!
Two things you could work on:
- The "spell ball" always spawns in front of the character, and the character's orientation is determined by your movement, not your cursor, that means if you last moved left, and try to click at your character's right, the character will throw a spell ball in its face. Considering your character's orientation has no other purpose in the game, I would make it so that it follows your cursor, which would make it easier to move and aim in opposite directions (I hope that was clear enough).
- The two icons showing when you fail, one's for restarting and the other is to go back to the start, but that meaning wasn't clear and there was no text to make it clearer, you can probably guess I'm mentioning it because I had to restart your game halfway through by misclicking on the wrong icon haha!
Congratulations for shipping your first entry, keep it up :)
