In game notes:
- The main menu is very complete.
- New enemy sprites are nice, but they still feel very non-threatening
- Hard to tell when a level is ending
- Unclear what “Focus” does, or “mind” (oh I see hold alt now)
- Dual cast is nerfed with mana, but still soooo fun
- Almost wish the camera was zoomed out a bit
- Some feedback when you can’t afford an item would be good
- Vampire survivors has a "Vacuum" item you pick up sometimes to get all dropped gems. That would be nice, because it’s easy to lose them forever
- I wish I could not unlock elements, to keep some items more potent
- No exit button on main menu
Post game thoughts:
This is by far the best build of the game. The mana bar is the perfect balance to most spells, and the new enemies add just a bit of spice and difficulty. I played 4 rounds, and at the end I had a good spell and felt like a godly wizard casting spells all over the place. Very fun.
My biggest gripe is I still don't feel much need to use all the spells, mostly I find two I like, and just spam them. But this really isn't a bad thing, especially as more items get added to make this more viable. Just a note.
Really fun though, this is great progress!
