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.

Cool game! It felt really good to spin around and have the force fling activate, propelling you across the stage. Great work!
Just a really good game, it fit the theme, the music fit the game. the game design and levels just good.
Only in the third room I got stuck because I lost my powers, the game didn't explain why.
If you have a minute, play and rate my game too!
I 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?
It's both a bug and a feature! I made the props moveable so that they can be used in the puzzles. Riding them is an interesting strategy, but one that is a lot of fun
pretty 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
Thanks, the glitches are for the most part left in (besides the wand one that one sucks) to make the game feel more chaotic. Thanks for the review!
This 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 :)
Thanks, I appreciate it. I wanted to put a real secret at the end but the message was all I could come up with. Thanks for playing!
very nice graphics and audio. makes a lot of fun just to jump around and shoot :)
good job and keep going👍
Thanks! I appreciate the kind words!
really like your color scheme and your magic effects
Thanks!
Fun game! I was struggling for a bit before I realized there is a hint of what magic is coming next. Loved jumping and flinging myself around with explosions.
Thanks, the rocket jumping is my favorite bit too!
Love the music! This was surprisingly fun haha. I think the best part is just throwing yourself around with different spells. I wish it was longer!
Thanks for the kind words! Glad you liked it!
This was a fun game!
I'm glad you liked it!
Cool Concept. On Web is the Mouse Sensitivity a bit high, by the lowest possible DPI here, but it was faun. Tank you very much.
Thanks for playing! If you press Escape there is actually a mouse sensitivity slider in the Pause menu, though I know that the pause menu is a little messed up in the browser mode. I appreciate the feedback nonetheless!
Nice concept and fun visuals that remind me of elder scrolls arena, did find it a bit slow when spawning in all the items but it was still fun to play :)
Thanks, I appreciate the feedback! I was trying to go for that old school dungeon crawler vibe without too much of the aliasing problems of the past. Have a good one!
This is great, I love the randomness of fishing for the right spell for a puzzle just to get some hilarious result. This is definitely a concept I could see as a full game.
Thank you, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!
I really like this game. These random spells creates tons of crazy fun and uncontrollable chaos. A very very minor drawback is that I went through some levels without using magic, but this didn't affect the overall positive perception of the game
Thank you for your honest feedback! I made most of the beginning levels with the intention of being technically completeable without magic, so that it gives the player more time and options to solve the levels in a creative way, feeling like they're "breaking" the game by being skillful. I also wanted to put an emphasis this game jam to make something that people could actually complete without too much effort, since some of my past jams have had games that were too difficult or frustrating to play. Thank you for playing!
As a fan of rng I loved this game. There was never a clear path on how to clear a room which I thought was great!(I ended up using the dash and force jump most of the time tho) The music was a great chose and made you feel like a mad scientist experimenting your way through the levels. Great artstyle! My only downside is I wish the game was longer and some rooms could have been bigger. Great job!
Thank you! I totally agree, I wish there could've been more to it as well, but I made a promise to myself this game jam to keep it short, simple, beatable, repeatable, and my original plan of 20 rooms just would've made the game overall less polished. Thank you for the honest review though!
That was very cool
Thank you, glad you thought it was cool!
Whoa, that's really good!
Thank you! I'm glad you liked it.
Really good game! I love the random magic and the setting :D
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed the game.
Wow! Had really fun playing ! The concept and design is very well thought but i felt like the chaotic element was a bit missing . The spells were really fun . There were few bugs tho ( like after dying twice i failed to pickup any object and had to restart ) . But it was really fun to play and maps were nicely designed! And yes I went till the end so thanks for the virtual hug :D
Thank you! Yeah Chaos is a difficult thing to really nail down in a game, it sort of just has to happen naturally which is difficult to account for. I appreciate you playing and leaving the feedback!
