Pretty calming music and a fun gameplay. Got quite overhelmed by blobs in the start (my mistake) that made it even more fun.

The graphics are super nice. You got a lot of work done. :earth_asia: :fire: :potable_water:

Pros:
- Controls
- Buff system
- Inventory system
- Elemental system
- Floating combat text
- Calming gameplay
- Nice particles

Cons:
- Repetitive music
- No player health bar (or did I just miss it?)

Overall enjoyable, chill experience. Nice one! :v:

Really nice game. The artwork is well done. I love the buff system and combining the scrolls. I kept wanting to save them and add them all up so I was super buff. I kept getting lots of speed scrolls so I was really zooming around. The music was nice but for a game like this I kinda expected maybe something not as calming. Not sure what exactly. If there were some sounds and it was a tiny bit more juiced up the "game feel" would be really nice. Some feedback on when the player hits and critical hits. Things like that. The different spells and monster weaknesses was a nice touch.

Overall, really nice job. I played it for awhile until I died and re-spawned at the top. My water spell was strong and I was a fast boy. Also, kudos for being a Godot game :). Cheers!

Amazing! I really enjoyed this! Every enemy was beatable without taking damage once you worked out the patterns. Only thing that was not great was the music was a bit repetitive, but otherwise amazing :)

It probably is because of my pc but I can't fire anything, be it with space or by clicking

The graphics and animation in this were astounding! I enjoyed the gameplay, I beat the final boss with only a little bit of health left. I think sound effects for the spells and damage would have gone a long way to making this feel more complete. Also a powerup for increased range would have been fun.

i felt naked by not being able to shoot fireballs with my mouse left click, maybe add in more input actions. also you could add a spell rotator with right click, so that way you keep moving with your left hand and actions with right

Overall an enjoyable game!

+ Cute, funny graphics
+ Different enemies with different mechanics
+ An obvious combat-counter system most people will recognize nowadays (and otherwise; quick to learn in the first area).
+ Interesting concept where you can combine buffs into a stronger buff
+ Controls were easy to use (even though shooting with mouse would've been a nice addition!)

- Audio was a bit repetitive
- At some point I was under attack near the entry of an area, accidentally walked into it, and ended up back at the ENTRY of the previous area. Felt like a big setback.

? Balance seemed a little bit off, but was definitely not a dealbreaker to me!

Thank you for your entry!

Great aesthetic. I am bluffed thinking that you did all sprites in less than 3 days. The controls are smooth and work well as expected. The music is ethereal, but too repetitive. I have fun playing. I am not a big fan of this games' genre, but yours is well done. Thank you for this entry ++
