I like the concept, although it seems like it might be hard to lose. My main issue with the game: I had a really hard time telling where my spells were aimed: it did not seem to be directly beneath my feet, nor directly in front of me. An indicator showing the affected tile could be really useful. I enjoyed this!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":761010,"author_name":"zookatron","author_uid":"zookatron","epoch":1634006779,"text":"Very cool game, fun and easy to learn!

Actually, maybe it was a bit too easy, the player can (and should) just hold the 2 key (maybe together with 1 key), the flowers do their job at keeping a good amount of mana very well. But for a jam game, low difficulty is a good thing, I know something about it.

Controls are a bit of a bother, as it's hard to aim and know what tiles you'll hit - and lag would make the game stuttery on top of that (although whether it's my machine or the game, I can't say for sure. not like I'd count lag in my rating - no worries!)\nCute art, enjoyable mood. I could definitely see how levels could have you strategize more around this core loop, were you to continue work on it.\n Well done!","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":768335,"author_name":"jeinzi","author_uid":"jeinzi","epoch":1634689332,"text":"Very relaxing game :) I agree with @fusionnist, aiming is a bit difficult.
