Although I lacked here sound, but the music was making the day!

In what way does your game fit the theme?
The main mechanic, Casting Random Spells, is directly associated with a DND mechanic of the same name. Each spell is chosen at random, and has a random effect applied to it, making it extremely chaotic, but manageable.
Did you write all the code yourself and made all the assets from scratch?
All of the code is written by myself, all of the art (besides a few of the props) is also done by myself. The music is free open source.

Very fun indeed! The idea of forcing me try new spells game some room for experimentation, I think you need to explore more this type of synergy.
About the story, what if you are the junior wizard, and you are the last one left, since all the most experience went to explore the cave. Now is up to you try to save them.

Hell's Counterpretty cool idea, and really well done on the execution. i love the use of the usual non-copyright sounds, and the level design with graphics was really well done on your part, well done

Slime IslandWell, thanks for the virtual hug!
This game is a hand full! Most of the ledges are softlocking deathtraps, most spells are broken and the hitboxes are weird. But I absolutely love it!
I mostly used high jump and run to skip through most of the rooms. The artstyle is fantastic and the music is so good! The movement feels awesome and the doors are quite comedic, intentional or not.
Even though this game is a broken nightmare I loved every frame and I will definitely play it again.

Magic MayhemVery fun game. It always cracked me up when I ripped the door off its hinges instead of simply opening it lol

Spellcaster SkirmishI really liked this game. Very fun, occasionally a little frustrating but as someone who plays D&D I know that the dice cannot always be kind. Definitely going to recommend to some friends!

Deep CleanLove the look of this game and the concept around it too! I would love the idea of wild magic in a game, some of my favorite moments in DnD is the wacky surges of wild magic, but I feel it might be a bit too random in this game. It might be better to have set spells with a random effect on them. Like "Spawn Crate" but sometimes it's slippery, bouncy, on fire, explosive, invisible, etc.
Still, great game! I love the idea behind it

Text and DriveGood level design, really smart music choice, great thinking for mechanics. But randomness is too random, can't handle

Every Trick in the BookLoved firing random spells, felt like an action-y wild magic surge from DnD. Ran into a bug a few times early on where it'd no longer let me pick up objects though
Submitted
Explosive ProblemsCool game! It felt really good to spin around and have the force fling activate, propelling you across the stage. Great work!

Chaos ControlI liked this game! The music matches the theme of the game. It was fun to play it. I just wonder if flying on the table when you hold it in your hands is a bug or a feature?

Galaxy Killerpretty good concept and I had fun playing it although it's a bit unpolished and very glitchy. I died and wasn't able to use my wand afterwards. One glitch I found was the ability to pick stuff up while on top and ride whatever you are carrying. That one was pretty fun to mess around with

Temple of LasersThis game was one big chaos... which means it's perfect! Casting these random spells was very funny. I love that you can literally pull the doors out of the frames. Art style is simple but it has it's vibe. Soundtrack fits the atmosphere of the game perfectly. Also the secret message at the end was very nice. Overall a great game :)
