At first i didn't understand how to use the spells. A tutorial would have been nice. I really like the idea, but due to the limited scope I ended up kiting enemies and just shooting fireballs. You need more content to shake things up.
At first I was confused because the game is not really intuitive at all. Once I started to get the hang of it though this became really fun to play! I also like the unique idea that you went with.
Really really unique gameplay that I enjoyed a lot... once I got the hang of it haha. Since it is unique, I haven't done anything like it before so I short tutorial could have helped a lot. But like I said, once it clicked, I really enjoyed it!
Yeah, a tutorial is one thing I wish I had time for. I ended up much busier with other commitments during the week than I had hoped and only got about 16 hours into the game. Thanks for the feedback!

Yeah, one thing I was hoping to have in was a tutorial that sets up the narrative and explains how to play, but I ran out of time. Thanks for the feedback! I'm thinking about remaking this outside of the jam with different sprites and more polish.
I don't get it .. how do I use the spells? It places an orb but it doesn't do anything.. it doesn't heal the wizard and doesn't harm enemies? Also restarting only respawns the player/wizard but doesn't reset anything.
Am I doing something wrong?
Sorry for the late reply. The wizard will cast a spell if there in an enemy on his screen and he steps over a spell circle. Make sure that you move off of the spell circle yourself since you can block the spells also. Restarting resets the waves and your health and mana, but does not change your position in the map.
I see! Thanks for getting back to me - I'll give it another try :D
Cool game
Thanks!
