They didn't lie. This game was hard.
I enjoyed pondering my orb as this game played upon its surface. Alas, I was unable to deliver the orb, due to a lack of sufficient mana on my end. Cool idea for a game and I really liked the art and aesthetic.
A+ for effort, too bad about the mana drain, you may need additional Red Bull potions.
I couldn't get to the end, because momentum games are something I am really bad at... But I really enjoyed the pondering-of-the-orb story, and the sheer concentration on the wizard's face made my laugh. xD The artwork is simple and charming, and works perfectly for the vibe of the game.
Understandable to be fair, I am glad you like the visuals though :D
i have DONE IT!!!! actually very fun! took me a lil bit to get the hang of it, but when i started using the planar shift to build up speed and also to use as a checkpoint things started flowing pretty well! the hardest part was the first bridge for sure
also super charming little cutscene and visuals at the start
great job!!!
Great job completing it! And thank you for the feedback :D
I like the cosy vibe. good work. Didnt play for long because its a bit difficult to get the hang of at first and i was getting sleep.
There's a gameplay vid linked on the itch page, feel free to rate based on that if you struggle
Real they're taking the hobbits to Isengard vibes. You weren't kidding, this was tough. My years of Wizard Academy training were thwarted multiple times by ankle-high shrubbery. This could have been made a lot more forgiving if Planar Shift also set a checkpoint that the player respawned to upon death. Just a thought. I loved the guy straining so hard in the corner lol. Journal intro was a nice touch too. Glad I can get back to Skype-ing with my wizard bro again.
Thank you! We really tried channeling some early 2000s meme vibe into this one, and I am glad you noticed the wizard straining :D
Ok, this game is really hard XD, but it only took me like 10 min, so. Not rage-inducing at all. I liked the noises a lot and the world-building. It was really cosy. Thank you for making this
Good job completing it, and thank you for the comment on world building :D
Fun game to play... Well done!
It took quite a few tries and watching through the youtube video, but we got there in the end!
I avoided your game for a bit because of the initial warning. Actually it wasn't too bad! The main issue I had was that pushing F9 opened my browser's reader mode, which overrode resetting the game.
Great intro story and wizard art, especially those eyebrows.
It wasn't immediately obvious what Planar Shift did. At first I thought I was sending the orb between two different, similar worlds and that the goal was to shift between them whenever an impassable barrier appeared. After watching the video things became clear, otherwise I might still be stuck trying to figure out how to use it properly.
Thank you, we based the ability on something called force walk but wanted to avoid copyright, hence renamed to planar shift, but we intend to expand on the tutorial to explain how it works :D
Love the story implementation. :)
INFURIATING; super good game and I love the ridiculous wizard concentrating. Sheer misery everytime I have to restart from the beginning but it kept me coming back for a while.
If an orb is sturdy enough to go through the wizard's front door at mach 1, I want to know how on Earth my buddy manage to break theirs!
See, the other wizard bought his orb from Temu, that was a bad choice.
Great job! I got stuck a couple of times, but it wasn’t a big issue overall
Really well made, congratudaltions, well done <3
