- This is a good entry. Its a shame about the levels, but know that doesn't effect my judging score. This game reminds me of a mid tier flash game i would have played in school to avoid school work. a bit of criticism for you, no music is a bit grating after a bit, and i found myself quickly becoming frustrated with the limited alchemists fire, as i knew exactly where to put it, but would mess up on movement and soft lock the level, having a move reversal button would be excellent for when i know i have messed up. It also wasn't immediately clear that the wizards would catch me if i ever left the shadow, and i assumed at first they needed tile line of sight to get me, and was confused as to why i was caught for a bit.

Great work and use of the theme! I wouldn't worry about level 6 lol
Thank you very much!
The level 6 is kind of a big deal, though—because of our mistake, it locks you out of the game completely! You won't be able to play 13 more levels and try out 5 new items!
I guess the lesson is to test properly and not leave it for the last minute :)
Oh, I understand now! I was unaware there were that many levels after it! Well, as you said, we can only turn it into knowledge for the next one.
