Great art, frantic gameplay, and Osseus doesn't mess around. Definitely has been wanting to play over and over again. The variety of options really makes you think on your feet.

This is a hard game. I like the pixel art it is really nice. The game play is fun and the spells are good. The music lends to the frantic pace of the game. This is a nice game for the game jam. Keep it up great work.

Fate of a Dying StarNice game and the art(sprite and etc) is pretty good looking!
The gameplay is also intersting and combination of shooting and areal damage is a good one. Maybe it could be a little faster but its cool anyway:)

Death WishThis is a great example of keep things simple!
Great looking assets, blast skellings, responsive controls, very smooth and feels fun to play!

I've Never Been Fed In My LifeReally nice work! the art looks great, I especially liked that pentagram attack. Teleporting around was fun too. I do wish that holding down LMB would continuously launch the fireballs, though, so the player wouldn't have to spam click. And bonus points for including how to play in the game (rather than only in the description below.)

Rise of NecromancyPretty fun fast paced game.
I didn't notice the mana bar until after a while, but managing mana and teleporting was key in defeating the boss.
The victory music was a bit louder than the rest of the game.
Great job on the game!

Death's DriverWe wanted to change the health/mana bar to make it more obvious/visible but sadly we ran out of time. Thank you for your feedback regarding the music, that was something we hadn't noticed so thanks for bringing it to our attention :)
By the way I think it's really neat you came up with a racing game for this jam's theme, plus I love the aesthetics so I'll have to check it out later!
Congrats on completing the jam! I liked this, it was really fun, and I loved the little cheer animation on the victory screen. As others are saying, the teleport is key! A mana potion pickup would be an amazing add - I felt like I ran out of mana very quickly.

Happy ClicksAwesome! Like other commenters, I forgot about the teleport, even though I had just read the instructions. Then I was able to beat it. Very punchy sound effects, but when I clicked fireballs really fast I would get kind of a crackling sound for some reason.
Submitted
First Try, No DeathsSo I played through the game, finally beat it after too many tries.... then i realized there was a teleport.
Loved the game, would love to see more of it:)

Subcontracting DeathBeatiful art, fun gameplay, cool music and sfx.
At first had trouble beating, because I forgot there is 2nd skill on right mouse button. Than I managed to beat it, only to realise there is also a spacebar teleport :D So I guess teleportless run is possible
Overall just well polished entry.

Brunhilda's RevengeWow! That was really cool to play.
I died 4 or 5 times before I managed to kill the boos. Really nice! Good job!
