Creative Vision / Rationale / How Did You Incorporate the Theme
I took the theme of "generosity" and applied it to the concepts of conservationism, preservation, and environmentalism with a tinge of druidic magic. Instead of attacking enemies, the player heals corrupted organisms and restores them to their plant forms in a corrupted and polluted landscape. Once enough creatures are healed from their corruptions, the player can cast a powerful restoration spell to permanently "rewild" the land, returning it to its natural, balanced form.

I had a ton of fun playing this one! It did take me a little while to really figure out the controls and how to dodge the attacks, but once I got the hang of it, I was able to breeze through the first few levels. I only really got stuck during the later levels as I was struggling to trigger the dodge ability, it wasn't as responsive as I would have liked it to be. It was also a bit annoying having to constantly refresh the page to start over. However, I still think the concept of restoring the forest with magic while also fending off monsters is pretty neat and I could definitely see this being part of an RPG-type game if you decide to develop it further. Great work!
For a game controlled with the keyboard, it is confusing to require the use of a mouse to begin. Additionally, having to “refresh” the “web page” on demise to start anew can inconvenience players. The range of the character's healing is also slightly unclear.
The animations are well made, and the music only adds to the experience.
I really like the art on this one, the UI and game play blend quite nicely and your pixel animations are chunky in a good way! The controls felt a bit lose but given more time some tighter feedback on the healing and maybe some meta map which shows how many areas you have rewilded and I think you have an incredible game. Great Work!
Very nice concept, but unfortunately I found it very hard to heal the creatures. It was satisfying when I did manage though.
Sound design was done really well to match the pixel art! The casting sound is very satisfying. Nice job with this!
Fun!
