This was so fun! The controls are responsive, the hit impacts are satisfying, and I love the pixel art. Also, I defeated Osseus! The only thing I can really say is I want to play more levels!

Really good game, congratulations! I like the idea of kiting while teleporting. My only problem with this game is that I would enjoy some more levels. Good job! :)

Gus, the ghostThank you! I would have loved to add more levels, maybe a new level if/when the player dies would've been cool :D There were loads of different features we wanted to add but before we knew it we were already on day 10 and it was time to submit. Thanks again for your feedback though, it's much appreciated! :)
Absolutely loved your game!!! Though it was very short it was an amazing experience and I would love to see more of it.

Subcontracting DeathVery cute and exciting little game! I really liked the big spell and teleportation system. I have only 1 question though: how does the big spell work? I noticed that when I used it only amidst little skeletons it exploded in a big area but when I used it right next to the boss, it expanded only for half of its size. That made it so that I couldn't defeat the skeletons that were behind the boss with the AoE spell. Is it intended? o:
In any case I managed to complete the game and I found it quite fun, really great job! The pixel art was nice as well and I liked the light effects since they were present but not excessive! :)

9 LIVESThank you so much for all your feedback!
Yeah, in regards to the AoE spell it destroys the particle effects on collision but we had to disable damage dealt to the boss because it was triggering multiple times and insta-killing the boss xD We only got around to disabling the damage but not the actual particle destruction which is why it doesn't pass through him.
I remember playing your adorable cat game! Thanks again for playing our game, I'm really glad you enjoyed it :)
pretty cool game, graphics & sounds are pretty good , the game mechanics are fun , i liked the teleport & the blast thingy , wish there were some power ups every now and then to help you up.

Cursed HeroGreat jam game, especially in terms of the length of the game and number of mechanics and concepts. I like the art (especially UI, I miss big health bars) and music direction, and it controls in a satisfying way. The difficulty helped make it satisfying since it took me a few tries.
I also somehow forgot about the teleport immediately. I suppose the last thing on the list is glossed over if the rest is so straightforward.

Better Off DeadThank you!! I'm really glad you liked it, it seems a lot of people forgot about the teleport :') You're right I think because it's at the bottom it's easily missed/forgotten.
We made the decision to go with the big health bar for the boss so it would be like a progress bar :) and if we had time I think we would have made the player health/mana bigger or at the bottom of the screen to make it more obvious.
Thanks again for your feedback I really appreciate it!
A nice game and the right click spell was really cool. It would be a bit easier for beginners if there wasn't as much skeletons at first. The look was really cool and it was a good game.
Great Job!

Death Witch - GDTV Game JamIt was fun running in circle kiting the skeletons, and blasting a large chunk out with right click. It would be even better if you add more abilities and enemy types! The controls are good and the sprites are cute. Great job!

Escape InfernoThis 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.)
