The ragdoll hat was really funny (would love to vote it in humor category) and the graphics were amazing. However, there are still some improvements to be done like the camera sometimes clipping through the wall or the lower levels being seen from the lower region of the level. Really thrilled to see how this ends up in 9 and a half hours.

@slendertnt Hey thanks for the feedback!
i enabled the humor category cuz why not!

Also... Seeing all the levels below i think would be a part of experience to strees the "deeperness" of the map :)

Also i have no idea how to solve camera cliping when player desends downwards :? we gotta live with it :D

A pretty interesting idea for a game. I had a hard time hitting the enemies and relied on getting lucky most of the time. Did you create all of the assets yourself? Really impressive stuff. I think the game has a lot of potential well done.

@scott-redrup

Yes I created Grahpics on the JAM

Only oursourced things are animations for the main character.

Models for character,
models for enemies,
models for world elements,
effects,
sounds,
music,
everything is made on the Jam

Fun game!

Really nice visuals. Controls feel a little clunky at times but I still enjoyed killing those worms!

thanks!

Great work with this one! I agree that the controls felt a bit odd, mostly due to the camera angle not matching the way the character was moving. I like the different spell books, but since it wasn't really explained in game it was somewhat confusing. Other than that and a few bugs, it was an enjoyable experience! Good work!

I will add an explenation to the description here!

Super fun game! I was a bit confused by how to change spells but once you get the hang of it blasting vermin is epic fun. Once you max out all spells it seems you are stuck with endlessly respawning enemies.

I love the floppy hat!!! Its really cool to see such a detailed model in a jam and these effects are great looking. I would love to see a wider range of cool effects, they just look so cool. Great job.

Mero

26. Apr 2021 · 20:29 UTC

@pfeyffer there should be a boss at the end but you know... time ;)

Ambeurk

26. Apr 2021 · 20:41 UTC

Wow, amazing work, especially for a two members team °o°

I like the idea of the reversed "climb the wizard tower" !
When it reached level 5 my lighting spell used to work, maybe there is something I haven't fully understood :(

+1 for the hat ragdoll & the destructible props, I felt like Radagast destroying the basement to break free xD

Mero

26. Apr 2021 · 20:43 UTC

@ambeurk im so sorry
there is a bug that if you pick up a book to lvl 5 the spell breaks

How exacly were you able to pick up a spell lvl 5? pplz tell me we will fix
we propobly jsut did but we're not sure

I found it fun, if tedious after a while. The graphics were amazing, with the exception of the mages hat spasming. The monsters have a very cool design.

# Bugfix update v1
Date: 26.04 11:00 pm GMT +3
- Fixed bug that allowed players to pickup spells above 4th lvl by not picking up "free books" after clearing level (because books pickup ability was not updating for "free books", now it updates after every book pickup)
- Now winning text makes more sense

Wow man, nice graphics and animations. I see a lot of work here, I love it!!!

I really like this game! It is fun and funny! Great designs, music and gameplay! I hope you plan to keep working on this game!

26. Apr 2021 · 23:18 UTC

Wow, great game! I like the music and graphics, and on the spell effects. Killing monsters and destroying things with magic are always fun.

# Bugfix update v2
Date: 27.04 1:30 am GMT +3
- Added smooth music transition between battle and shop music
- Fixed book prices after leaving 2 levels of "free books", now "free books" are always free
- Fixed equipped spells drag and drop (previously dragging spell from one cast spell slot to the other bugged one of the equipped spells)
- Fixed bug that allowed player to cast spells one level deeper by clicking "outside level"

I like the visuals, it looks nice also audio is choosen very well, it adds drama to the game.
However, I didn't like the gameplay, on level 4 or 5 I was so bored that decided to close the app.

LocustJin

27. Apr 2021 · 10:24 UTC

Nice mood in the game and grat idea itself.

Szymski

27. Apr 2021 · 10:41 UTC

You even got destroyable environment!

Mero

27. Apr 2021 · 10:43 UTC

@szymski
thats the easy part xD

@ybzpp
hey how did you bug the game i would be glad to fix it

ybzpp

27. Apr 2021 · 11:09 UTC

@mero on the second floor just went to the corner)) ![Screenshot_2.jpg](///raw/b38/a3/z/407a6.jpg)

Mero

27. Apr 2021 · 11:14 UTC

@ybzpp we found a bug and fixed it
but i cant help but notice that in order to find this bug someone HAS TO look for them intencionaly

I have no idea why would you do that, play the game dont look for gaps in the walls?

Maybeagoose

27. Apr 2021 · 11:15 UTC

@mero It is not clear what kind of skills, how it works and why they are needed at all. The character gets stuck in every object. Probably all the time was spent on VFX by the way it lags very much even on my powerful PC. I can't even figure out what skill I took

Maybeagoose

27. Apr 2021 · 11:18 UTC

@mero why would you spam with revolvers in my game? :D "I have no idea why would you do that, play the game dont look for gaps in the walls?" - just running away from my enemies

Mero

27. Apr 2021 · 11:21 UTC

@maybeagoose
i have no idea why would you spam under my game about your game

Mero

27. Apr 2021 · 11:22 UTC

You can always ignore feedback if you dont like it
there is no need to go crying under someones elses game

as im going to do with your coments ignore them from now on im sorry

Maybeagoose

27. Apr 2021 · 11:25 UTC

@mero because of your negative attitude towards us.) and this is not spam this is an example of your hypocrisy

🎤 RedKitsune

27. Apr 2021 · 11:33 UTC

@maybeagoose performance is good, it works in around 500FPS in editor on gtx1080ti, its also smooth on gtx1660 and it somehow works even on my phone Poco X3 in 20FPS. Next thing, ``all the time was spent on VFX`` imagine I spend almost 38h coding stuff and fixing bugs during Jam. So please stop making negative comments here, becouse one of team member commented on your game and now you need to come here to make comments focused on everything that is bad in the game and ignoring the fact that other team members also spend time making this game.

Maybeagoose

27. Apr 2021 · 11:42 UTC

@redkitsune every minute of your efforts is visible in the game,please understand us too :з) sorry for the additional negative on our part <3 about performance : maybe something with the browser

Looks great! I enjoyed the music and the visuals. Very satisfying to hit those bugs with spells :)

AmigoPadilha

27. Apr 2021 · 12:50 UTC

Great game! Congrats on the art and sound, really nice. The controlls feel a bit off, but manageable with a little practice!
Great job!

Game-mon

27. Apr 2021 · 14:50 UTC

Wow, that is some crazy amount of work for 72 hours! Great spells, animations, VFX, music, that make for some epic combat. (Perhaps a bit too many enemies at the end, and it gets a bit repetitive.) I'm impressed. Congrats! :D

Kro

27. Apr 2021 · 18:22 UTC

Superb cool game, but requires polishing. Controls (moving exactly) are clunky. And also hat is flopy :D

Valentine Skachkov

27. Apr 2021 · 18:29 UTC

I liked the general idea and graphics)) Very cool with the effects came out!)

chriiis88

27. Apr 2021 · 18:40 UTC

The graphics are top notch! With more time and polish this could be a really addicting game. For example, currently enemies just spawn in front of you and you barely have time to react. Increasing the level size a bit and spawning all enemies at once, so you can see them, would allow for a more tactical gameplay. Allowing to move around while casting (or shortening casting time) would increase the action.

27. Apr 2021 · 22:37 UTC

Nice Visuals Though

Mero

28. Apr 2021 · 00:20 UTC

@chriiis88 yes! thats something to think about im sure :)

In our free time we are working on our more developed game diablo like hack and slash we're going to stay focus on that for some time

Jamie Slowgrove

Nice game! Loved the graphics and the sound worked well with them. Good job! :grin:

MrScythe

28. Apr 2021 · 09:04 UTC

Love the graphics! Love all the different spells you can use, gives it a little variatie every run. :grin:

Ironfred

28. Apr 2021 · 09:14 UTC

Really cool concept and nice graphics (especially with the different spells). Controls felt a bit clunky, though.

Toreole

28. Apr 2021 · 10:09 UTC

Its cool despite its flaws.
The spells look cool, and the background music is nice too.
It's just too easy to cheese, just stand in a corner and spam your two abilities at the same time, offscreen enemies wont even attack. Also im missing some sort of punishment for dying, would be fine with a permadeath mode.
In the context of a gamejam this is top notch stuff right here.
(oh also i had some fps stutters for about the first 20 seconds, which is a little odd)

Really like the assets and hat physics (even though its wonky as hell :D). I think the controls should be relative to the camera and now the player - it felt weird.

bereg

29. Apr 2021 · 21:13 UTC

Yep, the hat is totally the best character in the game! Jokes aside, the game is great and entertaining. Very impressive work on the assets and particle effects, congratulations! I had so much fun playing it!

Hi,

here is the Video you requested :)

I just watched it again and I sound a bit over critical.

I just want to reiterate I am totally amazed by the game! Even with the flaws I mention this is still one of the better games I played! It just overall has this unfinished feel and I think with your team's talent, if you had opted to make a simpler, more polished game you could have been a real contender for some of the top spots!

Anyway here is the Video!

Hello! The windows in my office needed to be tidied up and cleaned. Thanks to the staff at [url=https://bohemiawindowcleaning.com/] commercial window cleaning[/url]. Came on time, washed everything, even in hard-to-reach places! They helped a lot and saved me from work that I don’t like))) Feel free to contact them.

It's a shame that life is not a computer game, so you have to clean the house yourself.

Oh yeah, I could have used a little magic when I was about to do the duct cleaning myself. What was I thinking, it was a stupid idea. I'm glad I've now found air duct cleanin services https://comfortclean.com/ . They agreed to give me a discount because I have a large living space and not much pollution. Very happy and that is why I am sharing this information with you.
