Challenging game. I included it in my Nordic Game Jam Online compilation video series, if you’d like to take a look. :)

This game was enjoyable! I wish my own spells didn't damage myself though.

Thanks!

That’s the point of the second spell to use it only when enemies are far away otherwise use the primary spell but I agree on that the splash damage radius is little too big

I glitched between the rooms a lot which made me die a lot. Otherwise it's quite fun and very well done for a jam. Good job!

Yeah I know about it as I answered @aloc but I didn’t have time to fix it. Thanks for review (and playing obviously :D)

I liked the enemies and spells a lot, especially the second spell. How can I use the third one? ^^
Would be nice to see the health of the enemies to make it easier to understand which spell is good to use.
Sometimes I glitched between the rooms that was weird, but nice game anyway :)

We didn’t have time to implement most of features including the third spell but the artist already made UI for it so I just kept it locked.

We planed to make bigger impact on using spells for example the second spell - splash damage. …and something to indicate health of enemies (without hpbar).

I know about the room glitch, I unfortuaetly didn’t make to fix it.

This was my first jam so I’m happy that we made it in time.

And also thx for playing/commenting our game!
