  • The game was fun to navigate. Thank you for all the tutorials. They were very helpful. I didn't know what was going to hurt me. I didn't realize the portals were hurting me. The controls were a bit tight and the sprite clips on the left side. It was neat seeing the menu bar fall with the character on the left-hand side. That was pretty cool. There's a lot of potential here. Keep at it, refine the skills. You have talent!

Did you include your Game Design Document as a Google Drive link?
yes (i think)

Seriously... did you include your Game Design Document?
I really hope so

Is your game set to Public so we can see it?
yes

Tell us about your game!
in thaumaturgy gloom, your goal is to navigate each level to find 3 ingredients found on pedestal's. Each level adds a new potion that adds new obstacles and challenges. once you have collected all the ingredients you need to run back to your house at the start to finish the level. the level gets progressively darker making it difficult to navigate. Shadow enemies switch from a passive stationary state to a hostile roaming state once it gets as dark as it can. you use wasd to move, space to jump, and numbers corresponding to potions. your potions include a light potion to reveal your surroundings, a fire potion to kill enemies, a wing potion to allow double jumps, and a mage hand to push stones.

Extra Notes
I just want to thank you for this opportunity. this is my first game jam and i feel like i learned a lot, even if my game isn't really that good, I'm still proud of what i accomplished and learned. Thank you!
