Pretty cool platformer I like the unique spin on the jumping and attack mechanics. One critique I have is that having to reset the whole level after just 2 points of damage is a bit harsh especially for fairly short invincibility frames.

Still, a really nice entry.

Thank you! I think I'll try to add a checkpoint system or make the levels shorter so that it's less punishing. I appreciate that feedback!

Really liked the directional spell mechanic. I would have liked to see a pose in animation on the enemies representing the knock back. maybe face looks shocked and they lean in the direction they are being pushed.

The music is, as they say, a bop. Very fun overall.

Developer

That's definitely a good idea. I'm hoping to work on the game at a future date and that'll for sure be something I will add. Thank you!

I really enjoyed the concept of the different directional spells. It might have been nice to have them introduced individually by finding tome pages rather than all at once so the mechanics could have a sort of build up. Overall very nice and I reallz enjoyed the music

Thank you! I was originally hoping to do that, but sadly I didn't have enough time to implement it, so I had to compromise. I'll be working on the game again soon, and I'll be reworking how the spells are introduced for sure. I'm glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for your feedback.

The music and sprites are so whimsical! I like the pushing mechanic for enemies as well its a really cool idea. Obsessed with the lil bouncing wizard sprite for his jumps. 

Developer

Thank you! I don't really consider myself much of an artist, so I'm glad to hear that you liked my sprites!

Super fun game with a fun protagonist and story, next to some glitches I encountered in the tower I had a blast, also the music is really really good, super well done!

Developer(+1)

Thank you. I'll be fixing those glitches soon. I appreciate your feedback!
