Thank you for this game - it's a playful take on combat.
I'm curious how you did the animations... The predominant animation file present in Craftpix is the output of Brash Monkey (.scml) which I'm not using. So I ended up with a combination of PNG sequences and bone animation (when conversion to the tool I'm using worked properly)...
By the way - it's a different style (4 directions) but if you like pirates then maybe you will find this asset pack interesting: https://craftpix.net/freebies/free-fantasy-rpg-pirate-boss-character-pack/ It was released a few days ago (during the jam time)!
I'm guessing that even though the magic wand is a ranged weapon the range is small in order to make the game more challenging? And also the chest is an obstacle - again to increase the challenge?
