Salutations!

I really like the art, the designs, and the sprite work are truly wonderful. The main character and the enemies look great, and it's a pretty cute art style.

Gameplay-wise, it is fun and engaging. I like the multi-spell options and that they have their own stats and sprites.

Just some notes:

  • The game seems to be endless, not sure if it is.
  • Once I die, the game does not let me do anything else, like retry or go to the main menu, which is a shame since the endless thing could be a great arcade-like game, and the retry button would be cool.
  • I think the hitbox was kinda weird because I kept receiving damage even though the enemy's attacks were a little far from the main character.

But I enjoyed this game a lot and would like to try again if it gets more content in the future!

I really like the art, so it's a shame that there's no environment. I think controlling the character feels pretty smooth as it is. I'd love to try it again if you polish it some more.

Your sprite work is really well don! Your music choice was nice too and the game functions really well :)  Just need a bit more variations in the level and a sense of progression! Really good base though

The art here is great! The main menu splash art is especially cute. It would have been nice to have some kind of breather before the game starts, since the game throws you straight into the action with little explanation. Generally some more game play polish, or some environment art or different enemies would have pushed this a bit farther. Nice job, though!

Very nice game! I really liked your music and all the different sprites. I appreciated the multiple spell options. 

Given the running around in a void, I can't help but wish it were a survivor-like with some possible AoE on-field effects that could be earned. There isn't much of a sense of progression (or I didn't survive long enough, perhaps) so it does feel really endless. There is a bit of a bug that collision with enemies sort of sends you flying? And when you die, you don't have the option to restart, which is a shame, because I'd like to!

I hope you add a bit more to this game, because it's quite fun!
