Neat concept! I just mashed 'ka' and 'help' on my keyboard in panic and then I remembered the theme. Got lost a few times after dying so I wish there was some landmarks like torches or paintings. Overall, nice job!
Very fun and nostalgic game loved the concept, was a bit confused at first on how to cast spells and how to get more spells but figured it out after a bit. Really Fun!
Really cool retro concept with the typing based casting and gaining letters on death! Could definitely see this turned into a fuller typing RPG! Great idea and concept!
I loved the walking mechanic/movement mechanic. It's such a smooth just push in a direction, and that makes me happy(even though it did make me a bit motion sick). Did not get very far, but enjoyed it!
If you want to give our game a visit, it would be appretiated!
really liked the concept. something with it felt nostalgic, I like it.
Was a blast to play!
Great game!!it was super fun to play,the visuals were great,and it was my first time trying a type-to-attack style kinda game..Really Enjoyed it..Great work
this game is really fun, made me panic quite a few times before realising i need to die more early game to get more spells
the sounds are funny, and the music and design are beautifully charming
death is an opportunity, to add pages to your spellbook!
Thanks for playing!
Great game and visuals! It really brought back some memories
Thank you!
Cool concept, I could see this being expanded into a bigger game. There's something about the brick textures that made them really satisfying to look at.
Thank you! Of course I had bigger ambitions for traps, more spells, enemies, etc., ... but game jams are short!
I really liked the visuals, it's also a very unique concept.
My favorite part was the voice lines lol kazam.
Kazam! Help! Ka!
I like the little voice acting done for casting the spells, and i like the windows 95 3d maze screensaver vibe i am getting from this, i just kinda wish it was a bit longer, but it's a game jam game so the length is understandable.
Thank you! Yea, I actually had a very cool dev tool where I could build huge maps with just a csv file to lay out the tiles, but settled on a shorter experience because I didn't have a huge variety of content/spells/etc.,
I imagined a map with traps and puzzles and enemies with different weaknesses... but game jams are a tight window! lol
Fun little game!! The magic system was unique, haven’t seen something like that much, very creative! Kinda hard to hit the enemies, though, but still fun!
Thank for the feedback and thanks for playing!
I really liked the magic system and retro textures would benefit this game very much!
Thank you! I agree, some old school HOMM pixel graphics would have been awesome
would be good if you could walk with the arrows keys and then all the letters can be reserved for spell casting and then you don't have to press enter any more
Nice thought, thanks for playing!
