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.","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":842564,"author_name":"Nicholas Maddalena","author_uid":"nicholas-maddalena","epoch":1664766329,"text":"clever take on the theme!

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.\n\nSome of the enemies felt a bit too fast for some of the powers, so the dodge button was a nice supplement to the mechanics. \n\nI also liked how the enemy corpses stayed, so that they could later be used by the levitation power as weapons.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":843929,"author_name":"Swen","author_uid":"swen","epoch":1664797299,"text":"I like the different play styles for the different spells. Reached a score of 295.81 in the end. I feel like the enemies could have been a bit more pronounced, so that they are easier to see (and know when I could stomp them after shrinking them).\nGreat job on the game and your entry!\n\n\n... time to go to the shop to buy a new wand.","format":"md","likes":3,"spam":"N"},{"id":846221,"author_name":"Chaseplays","author_uid":"chaseplays","epoch":1664824025,"text":"Nice job, the spell switching was well implemented and I liked how different the 3 spells felt.

Also, everyone keeps saying there should be an indicator for which spell you have, but I think that's what the glow at the bottom of the screen is for, right? If so, it should be more obvious and maybe have a sound that plays when your spell changes.","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":872605,"author_name":"Srynetix","author_uid":"srynetix","epoch":1665065665,"text":"Fun game!\n\nAt 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.  \nI tried the WASD keys (in my case ZQSD) and it works better! (thanks to the Physical key bindings :smile:).\n\nIt's quite challenging. (or I'm bad at the game, possible).  \nThe different spells are great, the Levitate one is the best I think :wink: \n\nGood job!","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":876097,"author_name":"PurpledArtFrog","author_uid":"purpledartfrog","epoch":1665133991,"text":"Interesting take on the 10 second loop :smile: congratulataions on a solid entry.
