wow really cool game, amazing magic, shadow wizard money hand
I got to level 5 or 6 when my run was ended by phasing through a wall and falling into the void. Tons of fun though. The spells looked really cool and were interesting to use. It is a bit easy to cheese things by moving back and forth until your spell recovers, but that would be easy to fix with an enemy that is ranged or if enemies start to regenerate after not being hit a certain number of turns in a row.
The opening cutscene was super neat and I loved the premise. The whole vibe was great. I liked the background looking like a pixelated Balatro style thing haha. Gave a very ethereal feeling to everything.
This is cool. I had fun playing it and love combining the rings. Cool animations too. I was a bit bummed that the menu button directly ended my run.
hmmm looks safe, im sure theres nothing behind this suspicious chest at the end of the hallway!
game is pretty cool! loved the start cutscene and it is very much like rouge, Wasn't able to use any of the spells sadly
Totally not a trap lol. Did you equip the rings tho? At least 2 of the same type
I dodged the review queue to play this one :p the amount of work put into this is straight up inspiring, from the menus and story to progression I’ll sink a couple hours into this for sure, I’ve been playing for 30 minutes already
Great start, sound effect def bring it up to a better experience, simple idea seems like a great concept.
Very Impressive. I like the concept a lot! I bet with sound added in it would be even better! I hope you keep developing it ^^
Great experience! From the intro sequence to the unique character and inventory design... The art-style is very retro in a good way, the HUD is good looking! Great job!
I really liked the intro and the spell/ring concept is cool :)
Camera movement feels a bit off, especially after playing for a bit. Also it took me really long to get two rings of the same element at the start
Interesting concept, excellent art direction, but no sound. It looks very cool, though the gameplay is somewhat nauseating due to the camera delay—there's a noticeable lag between the player's movement and the camera's adjustment, which can cause discomfort. That said, with further polish, it could become a great game.
