How long was your dev time?
2 h for assets, 3 h for pixel-color based physics and game logic, plus who knows how much time on bug hunting.

The white text on a light-blue background is very hard to read.

I don't have anyone on-hand so I can't play it properly, sorry :(

Thanks for even trying it =)

I like the effects of the fireballs and how they affect the terrain. SFX was pretty good too. The text at the top was a nice touch

Now for some criticism :)

It's a shame there's no browser version. Did you try OpenGL ES 2.0 or 3.0? (2.0 is recommended for web games)
Making it local co-op decreases your available audience. (Luckily I had someone around that I could grab to play against)
An AI would have been nice (but could be time-consuming)
Failing to cast a fireball while still having time left felt a bit harsh. (Could be made optional with a setting on the Menu)
There were a few typos but the only one that mattered to me was that both players were often labelled P1!

Yep, I used GLES 2.0 =(
Writing competitive AI is on a to-do list, but my last one took me 2 days for simple physics based air combat 2D game. Not even close to 3h limit =)
True, also giving some time to move after cast is on my to-do list.
Thanks for pointing it out, I'll investigate it and try to fix

Thanks a lot for your feedback, I really needed it!
