Mad impressive for a compo. The level of polish and juice is just so awesome. Really love the animation and all the little details like flash frames, debris, camera shake, and slow mo death... So many interesting balance tradeoffs as well like having slower movement while shooting. A lot of game jam games feel short and sweet, but this one really hooks you in and makes you wanna keep trying over and over.

Sort of a twist on a pokemon battle. ( Though I guess this is more of a twist on an smt game )\n\nThe presentation as a whole is cool, let it be visual or audio-wise\n\nCombat is cool as well. Love how your wizard also shoots. The enemy wizard's attacks were also telegraphed really well. The arenas are also well designed since you have to take into account which paths will get blocked somewhat since your wizard has to shoot as well.\n\nThe only thing I'm not too keen on is that falling off the arena feels a little punishing and should take away 1 hp rather than 2. It's pretty much the only reason I died whenever I did. Though this is probably just a skill issue lol\n\nBut either way, great work on this\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1046806,"author_name":"LDJam user 388487","author_uid":"388487","epoch":1713291514,"text":"That a great game (I saw videos), but it's really upsetting what I can't play it cause of MacOS:( \n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1046920,"author_name":"GodKnows","author_uid":"godknows","epoch":1713292081,"text":"Very addictive gameplay","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1048501,"author_name":"kuviman","author_uid":"kuviman","epoch":1713299490,"text":"world record update\n\n![Screenshot from 2024-04-17 00-30-49.png](\/\/\/raw\/7e3\/32\/z\/63d9d.png)\n\nEdit:\n\n![Screenshot from 2024-04-17 02-42-58.png](\/\/\/raw\/7e3\/32\/z\/63e6a.png)\n\n","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1050465,"author_name":"Kirass","author_uid":"kirass","epoch":1713309389,"text":"You are really great!
