Legend of the Broken Wand by thx4nothing

Your spells change every 10 seconds.
Try to survive as long as possible.
And have fun!
Note: Currently only the desktop version works as it should. Unfortunatley in the web version, the enemies don't want to move. Will try to fix it tomorrow. Also, I deleted LD51.exe, but it is still there... download "legendofthebrokenwand_v1.exe"

EDIT: Managed to get it to stay open for a few runs. I like the sounds and the different spells having unique behaviors was fun to play around with. I could see the 10 second swap intervals being very chaotic in a full version.
The various spells felt different enough that they required a significant change in playstyle for each one. Some kind of indicator of which spell was active, as well as a countdown until the next shift, could be nice "quality of life" improvements.
Some of the enemies felt a bit too fast for some of the powers, so the dodge button was a nice supplement to the mechanics.
I also liked how the enemy corpses stayed, so that they could later be used by the levitation power as weapons.
Great job on the game and your entry!
... time to go to the shop to buy a new wand.
At first I was using the Arrow Keys and was confused because I think the "Arrow Down" and "Arrow Left" keys are inverted in your Input Map.
I tried the WASD keys (in my case ZQSD) and it works better! (thanks to the Physical key bindings :smile:).
It's quite challenging. (or I'm bad at the game, possible).
The different spells are great, the Levitate one is the best I think :wink:
Good job!
